Ribeiro Can't Pull the Trigger
Level 27
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Stanislav Zegal opened 125,000 under the gun, and only Carlos Ribeiro came along from the big blind.
When the 8♥6♥6♦ flop hit the felt, Ribeiro check-called a bet of 50,000.
The 4♣ hit the turn, and Riberio checked before Zegal sized up to 305,000. Ribeiro called once again.
When the 8♦ paired the board for a second time, Ribeiro went into the tank. Using two time banks as he counted out chips, and looked like he was going to bet. Eventually, he checked and Zegal snap-checked back.
Ribeiro tabled 9♥7♥ for a missed open-ended straight flush draw, and Zegal took down the pot with K♣K♥.
