Wagner Ripper Eliminated in 23rd Place (€11,750)
Level 28
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Wagner Ripper open-jammed from middle position for 810,000 and Paolo Boi made the call in the hijack. The rest of the table folded their cards and a showdown was had.
Wagner Ripper: 9♠9♣
Paolo Boi: A♥J♥
The flop came down 8♦Q♥6♥. ''Always a sweat,'' commented someone at the table. The K♠ turn increased the perspiration levels of this hand even more as Boi now had even more outs. He finally hit one when the J♠ river hit the felt, turning his hand into a pair of jacks, beating Ripper's pair of nines.
Another deep run for Ripper, who could not best his third place in the €2,200 FPS High Roller during EPT Paris.
