Ribeiro Smacks the Flop, Karakitukov Hits the Turn
Level 20
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Action folded to Tomas Ribeiro in the small blind who raised Q?10?9?8? to 120,000. Veselin Karakitukov looked down at A?A?4?3? and called from the big blind.
The 8?8?2? flop gave Ribeiro trips to take the lead over Karakitukov's aces and both players checked.
The turn, though, came the A? and Karakitukov made a set. Ribeiro then led out for 140,000 and Karakitukov called.
Both players improved to a full house on the Q? river and Ribeiro bet another 450,000. Karakitukov then used a time bank before raising to 1,400,000, and Ribeiro eventually got away from his hand.
