Ruivo Wins a Big One
Level 12
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
The pot looked to contain around 10,000 already and three players were in the hand when the 
flop was dealt. Christopher Chaudey, in early position, bet 3,700. Michel Leibgorin, in mid-position, called. Manuel Ruivo, on the button, raised to 14,500. Both Chaudey and Leibgorin called.
The turn brought them the 
, now both Chaudey and Leibgorin checked. Ruivo bet 25,500 which sent Chaudey into the tank. He kept looking at the cards, his chips, and the board and to the stacks of his opponents. In the end, he reluctantly folded. Leibgorin folded immediately too. When Chaudey saw that, he was visibly upset with the decision he had made.
"Show the bluff!" another player at the table said to Ruivo, but Ruivo didn't show anything.
