Re: WPT Five Diamond - Trips w/ A Kicker, Monochrome Flop vs. Shaniac
On the flop, turn, your hand didn't rep a made flush to him. To us, his hands look like Ah2x (very likely) or 94s/44/22 (remote but possible).
As played, I would bet 10K at the river to block bluff.
At the river, the problem is your stacksize, you had about 25K behind, pot is 35K. It's very risky to bet 10K and fold to a shove. But, if you bet, his shoving range is only a boat. This awkward situation is because you c/r the turn instead of leading out pot at the turn.
If he had you beat at the turn (meaning he flopped set/tp and turned boat or flopped nut flush), he'd re-raise you because that might be the last chance to stack you if you miss the river with a flush draw, also you can't fold a 9 on the turn.
Now, you check the river and he shoves, I call because we expect a shove from many hands we beat when we check to him when there is a sizable pot.

Have you thought of betting the turn?
