Yamakawa Pays Off Ribeiro
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Three-ways to the A♠8♣4♠ flop, Ryuichiro Yamakawa led for 7,000 from the hijack, Joseph Volz folded in the cutoff, and Jorge Ribeiro called on the button.
On the 10♠ turn, Yamakawa slowed with a check before Ribeiro fired out a bet of 16,000, and Yamakawa quickly called.
Yamakawa checked once more on the 2♣ river before Ribeiro sized up to 41,000. Yamakawa would think it over for around 30 seconds before he cut out calling chips and placed them into the middle. He got the bad news immediately as Ribeiro tabled Q♠J♠ for the second nut flush as he scooped up a substantial pot to cross 200,000.
