Leiva Catches Ribouchon's Bluff; An Overwhelming Chip Leader
Level 29
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Brian McKain raised to 325,000. Florian Ribouchon called on the button, Hooman Nikzad called from the small, and Carlos Leiva called from the big.
Four ways, the wheel spun 9♦2♦Q♥. Nikzad checked, and Leiva took the initiative with a bet of 450,000. Only Ribouchon called.
The turn brought 4♦ and Leiva checked. Ribouchon pushed forward a bet of 1,500,000 and Ribouchon called.
The river completed with the 3♣ and Leiva checked again. Ribouchon cut out 4,000,000 from his stack and Leiva made a pained call.
Ribouchon tabled the Q♠10♠J♥2♥ in defeat, causing Leiva to quickily show his A♠J♦8♦7♦ for a flush.
