Bruno Makes Tough Call on River

Matt Warburton

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action was on the river on a board of K♠8♦Q♥8♠5♦. Porto Bruno checked and Sabare Atmani moved all in for 22,500. Bruno went into the tank and thought through his decision before coming to the conclusion that something wasn't quite right. He made the call.

Atmani showed 9♣9♠ for two pair, eights and nines. Bruno flipped over A♠Q♣ for two pair, eights and queens to win the pot, sending Atmani to the exit.
