Skanis Puts Pressure on Ruggeri

Level 35 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

The action folded around to Umberto Ruggeri in the small blind, who limped in. Renars Skanis was in the big blind and checked his option.

They saw a flop of 4J6 where Ruggeri threw out a green chip, worth 500,000, and Skanis called.

A Q on the turn drew another bet out of Ruggeri, this time for 1,400,000. Again, Skanis called.

When the 8 dropped on the river, Ruggeri checked and after some time, Skanis bet 2,200,000. Ruggeri had a decision, but after around 30 seconds of thinking, he laid his hand down.
