From Rags to Riches
Niveau 25
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Carlos Ribeiro had just doubled up his 585,000 stack with pocket fours against the ace-jack of Stanislav Zegal, and he was right back in the action as he raised to 90,000 in the hijack.
Vladas Tamasauskas three-bet to 275,000 in the big blind, and after thinking for some time, Ribeiro announced an all-in for 1,130,000. Tamasauskas snap-called.
Carlos Ribeiro: A♠K♥
Vladas Tamasauskas: A♦A♣
Ribeiro was in a world of trouble, but the K♣Q♦5♥ flop gave him a couple of outs as he flopped a pair of kings. The K♠ fell on the turn, giving him trips to take the lead and the 4♠ completed the board.
