Karakitukov Turns the Nuts, Leaves Riberio on Fumes
Level 23
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Filip Lovric limped in with J?9?7?6?, Tomas Ribeiro called holding A?9?8?2?, and Veselin Karakitukov checked K?Q?4?3?.
All three players checked the J?A?5? as the 10? fell on the turn, giving Karakitukov the nut straight. He bet 160,000 and only Ribeiro called.
The river came the 2? and Karakitukov bet another 600,000. Ribeiro used up a time bank before he slid in most of his chips to call with two pair, only to be shown Karakitukov's straight.
