into the middle.
"Fold?" the dealer asked.
"Of course."
He was right to be certain, as the winning player showed

Rui Sousa knows what it's like to run deep in Barcelona. Last year, the Portuguese finished 48th for €17,920 in the Main Event, the year before that, he ended up in 18th place and banked €53,570.
In level 2, Sousa was already facing an all in bet for nearly all his chips. The board read and Sousa had bet 3,000. His opponent Viktor Ustimov responded by shoving for 25,400, which sent Sousa nearly five minutes in the tank.
With the Portuguese media swarming in to capture the moment, Sousa eventually opted to preserve his current stack and settled on a fold.
