Brazil Rail Silenced

Christian Zetzsche

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Carlos Hey was all in for about 10 big blinds and got called by Daniel Riley on the button. The Brazil rail cheered heavily when the cards were turned over.

Riley:
Hey:

You can imagine how the Brazilians exploded after the flop as their countryman improved. It got louder after the turn but suddenly everyone fell silent once the river completed the board.

The tournament is now down to the last three tables and we will be back shortly with the redraw.
