Limit Hold'em

Anthony Ribeiro raised from the hijack and Thomas Taylor defended his big blind.

The A♥A♦Q♣ flop checked through to the 3♥ turn which saw Taylor lead. Ribeiro then announced a raise which immediately raised an eyebrow from Taylor, who called.

On the 10♥ river, Taylor checked it over to Ribeiro who bet and Taylor snapped it off. Ribeiro tabled K♥J♠ for a rivered straight as he was likely drawing to just four outs and Taylor could only frustratingly muck as the rail went wild for the Brazilian.

David Bach: A♠5♠ All in
Robert Wells: Q♥5♥

Bach was firmly in front with a pair of aces, but the 3♣ turn brought some chop outs. Bach saw a clean 8♥ river, doubling his stack through Wells.

Anthony Ribeiro: XxXx / A♦J♥J♣9♣ / Xx

Anthony Ribeiro completed, with Robert Wells making the call on his left. Ribeiro checked fourth street and called after Wells fired a bet.

Action repeated on fifth street, before both players checked through sixth. Ribeiro tapped the table one last time on seventh street, and Wells slid out one last bet.

Ribeiro called to see Wells show down his flush and eight-six low. That was good to scoop the pot, as Ribeiro mucked his hand.
