Ribeiro Can't Pull the Trigger

Livello 27 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Stanislav Zegal opened 125,000 under the gun, and only Carlos Ribeiro came along from the big blind.

When the 8♥6♥6♦ flop hit the felt, Ribeiro check-called a bet of 50,000.

The 4♣ hit the turn, and Riberio checked before Zegal sized up to 305,000. Ribeiro called once again.

When the 8♦ paired the board for a second time, Ribeiro went into the tank. Using two time banks as he counted out chips, and looked like he was going to bet. Eventually, he checked and Zegal snap-checked back.

Ribeiro tabled 9♥7♥ for a missed open-ended straight flush draw, and Zegal took down the pot with K♣K♥.

Livello 28 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Action was folded to Oliver Weis on the button, who opened to 125,000.

Weis wasted no time in moving all in, and Weissman had little choice but to make the call after committing half his stack preflop.

Joey Weissman: 4♣4♠
Oliver Weis: A♠A♥

Weissman had been extremely unlucky to run into aces in a button versus small-blind spot, and the 2♣J♦7♦2♥9♣ runout did not provide him with an unlikely escape.

Luca Marki: 8♦8♠
Carlos Ribeiro: A♣A♠
