More Chips for Frank and Ribeiro Without Showdown
Arthur Morris limped the hijack and Christopher Frank did so in the cutoff. Nick Schulman called in the small blind and Sean Rafael then raised to 300,000 in the big blind.
"Five point three you started with?" Morris asked Rafael, who quickly counted and then nodded. Morris called only for Frank to then raise the pot to 1,260,000 for essentially half of his stack. Schulman and Rafael quickly folded before Morris conceded the pot, too, exposing the K♦K♥.
"I had aces, really," Frank said and flashed the A♣A♥.
Shortly after, Rafael had a battle of the blinds with Tomas Ribeiro and they both invested 120,000 on the Q♦J♥5♦8♥ turn. Rafael then bet the 3♠ river for 600,000 and Ribeiro used four time banks before he called. There was no showdown, as Rafael tossed his cards into the muck.
