Bode Rises From Ashes; Lima Still with Piles
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Vinicius Lima raised to 1,600 in late position and Matthew Bode defended his big blind.
The flop scrolled across J♦8♠8♣ and Bode check-called a bet of 2,000.
Both players checked the 4♣ turn.
The 3♠ completed the board, prompting Bode to bet 3,600. Lima considered his options before mucking his hand.
According to Bode, he was down to as little as 4,000 in the earlier phases of the tournament, making his current chip count a breath of life with plenty of opportunity to build.
