Zavodini Leaves Lopes on Fumes After Hero Call Gone Wrong
Level 18
: 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Ruben Lopes raised to 120,000 in the hijack and Leandro Zavodini called in the big blind.
Both players checked the 9♥8♠5♣ flop. Zavodini then led out for 200,000 on the 3♠ turn, and Lopes called.
The river was the 4♦ and Zavodini bet another 500,000. Lopes again called with A♠7♣ for just ace-high, but Zavodini had flopped two pair with 9♦5♥ to win the pot and leave Lopes on an extreme short stack.
