Lybaert Makes a Great Call to Knock Out Peluso
Bart Lybaert opened to 40,000 from the button and Fabio Peluso three-bet to 165,000 from the small blind. Lybaert made the call.
The flop came J♠5♣K♠. Peluso fired a 125,000 continuation bet which was called by Lybaert.
On the 3♦ turn Peluso moved all in for 500,000.
"I'll use some cards" Lybaert said, in reference to his time extensions. After considering his options for just over one minute, Lybaert flicked in a single calling chip to put Peluso at risk.
"Good call" Peluso told his opponent as the cards were put on their backs.
Fabio Peluso: A♦Q♦
Bart Lybaert: K♥Q♣
Peluso had been caught bluffing and could only be saved by a ten or an ace, neither of which materialized on the 9♥ river. Peluso made his exit from the tournament area while Lybaert took down a sizable pot.
