Ribeiro Raises the Big Blind to Increase Lead

Filip Lovric limped in from the button with 10♠10♣9♦7♦, Aku Joentausta came along in the small blind with A♣9♣8♥8♦, but big blind Tomas Ribeiro then raised to 160,000 holding A♥Q♥J♥4♣.

Only Lovric called and the flop came 2♦A♦6♠. Ribeiro continued for 135,000 with his pair of aces and Lovric called with a flush draw.

Both players checked the 3♠ turn and the 9♠ fell on the river. Ribeiro checked again, and Lovric tapped the felt behind and gave up the pot as Ribeiro crossed the 4,000,000 chip mark.
