"The Rich Get Richer" As Alves Shows an Ace
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Ricardo Alves raised to 12,000 in middle position and was called by Eduard Barsegian in the hijack, Francois-Charles Scapula on the button, and Jack Hardcastle in the big blind.
Action checked to Barsegian on the A♣4♠4♣ flop, and he bet 22,000. Only Alves called.
The turn was the 5♠ and Barsegian bet another 50,000. Alves again called and checked over to Barsegian on the 8♦ river, and this time Barsegian checked back.
Alves turned over A♠J♥ for two pair, and Barsegian mucked.
"The rich get richer. Just like in the real world," tablemate Siegfried Friedl said.
"Play zero. Luck 100," Ruben Lopes added as he came over to tease his countryman from another table.
