Ribeiro Raises the Big Blind to Increase Lead
Level 20
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Filip Lovric limped in from the button with 10?10?9?7?, Aku Joentausta came along in the small blind with A?9?8?8?, but big blind Tomas Ribeiro then raised to 160,000 holding A?Q?J?4?.
Only Lovric called and the flop came 2?A?6?. Ribeiro continued for 135,000 with his pair of aces and Lovric called with a flush draw.
Both players checked the 3? turn and the 9? fell on the river. Ribeiro checked again, and Lovric tapped the felt behind and gave up the pot as Ribeiro crossed the 4,000,000 chip mark.
