Carlos Ribeiro and Daniel Custodio Bubble EPT Paris Main Event
Two spots away from the money, Carlos Ribeiro put in his last few chips from the big blind on a board of A♦4♣2♣10♣ and Renato Minicuci put him at risk in the hijack.
Ribeiro could barely stand to look at the board as they waited to turn over their cards, while, on the other hand, Minicuci was playing to the crowd gathering around the table and happily posing for photos.
Carlos Ribeiro: Q♥10♠
Renato Minicuci: 9♣8♣
Ribeiro showed a pair, but Minicuci had turned a flush and left Ribeiro drawing dead. The river was the 3♠ and Ribeiro was sent to the rail.
Simulteanously, at another table, Pawel Wojciechowski had raised under the gun and called when Daniel Custodio three-bet jammed for 28,000 from middle position.
Daniel Custodio: K♠K♥
Pawel Wojciechowski: A♦8♦
Wojciechowski paired his ace on the Q♥7♦A♣ flop, making him a big favorite.
Custodio needed a king to survive after the 4♦ turn, but his status as bubble boy was set in stone as soon as the 10♣ river hit the felt.
Custodio wished his former opponents good luck and departed the tournament area. With 215 players remaining, the EPT Paris Main Event continued in the money.
