Silva De Morgado Eliminated by Kribben
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Matthias Kribben in early position and Thiago Silva De Morgado from the very next seat got their chips in after the J♦9♣5♣ flop to create the following showdown.
Thiago Silva De Morgado: A♥K♦J♣8♣
Matthias Kribben: A♣K♣7♣2♣
With plenty of clubs out of the equation already, Kribben found another on the Q♣ turn. His opponent had just one out left and the miracle never came on the Q♠ river.
