Ribeiro Smacks the Flop, Karakitukov Hits the Turn
Level 20
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Action folded to Tomas Ribeiro in the small blind who raised Q♣10♠9♥8♠ to 120,000. Veselin Karakitukov looked down at A♥A♣4♦3♠ and called from the big blind.
The 8♦8♥2♦ flop gave Ribeiro trips to take the lead over Karakitukov's aces and both players checked.
The turn, though, came the A♠ and Karakitukov made a set. Ribeiro then led out for 140,000 and Karakitukov called.
Both players improved to a full house on the Q♠ river and Ribeiro bet another 450,000. Karakitukov then used a time bank before raising to 1,400,000, and Ribeiro eventually got away from his hand.
