Kolev Misses, Ruggeri Wins
Level 5
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Yuliyan Kolev opened from early position to 2,500, and action folded to Umberto Ruggeri in the big blind, who called.
The flop came 4♦5♠J♣. Ruggeri checked, Kolev bet 1,700, and Ruggeri called.
The 10♥ turn saw the same pattern: Ruggeri checked, Kolev continued for 7,500, and Ruggeri called again.
On the 9♠ river, Ruggeri checked once more, and Kolev fired 19,500. Ruggeri called quickly, and the hands were revealed. Kolev showed A♠3♠ for a missed straight draw and ace high, while Ruggeri turned over J♥9♦ for two pair, jacks and nines, taking down the pot.
