Kaufman Shows Down Fishhooks

Ryan Lashmar

Niveau 30 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Vitor Peixoto Moreira opened to 250,000 from under the gun and Igor Kaufman made the call from the hijack.

The flop came 10♠5♠2♦ and Moreira check-called a 350,000 bet from Kaufman.

Both players checked through the A♥ turn and Q♦ river.

Moreira tabled 9♠9♥ for a pair of nines but Kaufman had J♠J♣ for a bigger pocket pair to take the pot down.

Meanwhile at other tables, Jeremias Mendoza, Mihai Trofim and Alan Ferraro have been eliminated.
