Ruggeri Forced to Fold River
Level 15
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Irish Open 2025 runner-up Umberto Ruggeri opened to 6,000 from the cutoff, and received a call from Miguel Coussement in the big blind,
Coussement check-called a bet of 11,500 from Ruggeri on the A♠7♦5♦ flop, leading to the 9♣ turn.
Here Coussement changed approach, leading out with a bet of 13,000. Ruggeri seemed slightly perplexed by the change in tact, and took quite a while before he made the call.
The 6♥ river completed the board, bringing one-card straight possibilities. Coussement took around 90 seconds before firing out a bet of 70,000.
Ruggeri sighed and sat back in his chair, before he ultimately sent his cards to the dealer after about two minutes of thought.
