Ventura Gets There on River
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Dimitrios Loupakis limped from middle position, before Kully Sidhu raised to 6,500 from the hijack. Giovanni Ventura called in the cutoff, as did Stephan Perings in the big blind and Loupakis.
The J♦10♥7♠ flop was checked through to the 7♣ turn, where Loupakis fired out a bet of 6,000. Only Ventura called.
The K♥ river completed the board, and Loupakis downsized with a bet of 6,000, which Ventura called.
Loupakis showed 6♣6♦ for two pair sevens and sixes, but it was no good versus Ventura's A♦K♠, for the better rivered two pair.
