Vieira Fires Three Streets
Level 22
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Joao Vieira raised to 160,000 in early position with A♦K♠ and Gustavo Neves called from the small blind with A♥J♣. The flop came Q♠2♣2♦ and Neves check-called a bet of 120,000 from Vieira.
The turn brought the A♠, giving both players two pair but Vieira held the better kicker. Neves checked again and Vieira reached back for a bet of 550,000. Neves still called and the 7♠ landed on the river.
Neves checked for the third time and Vieira fired a third bullet of 1,300,000. Neves went into the tank for over a minute but finally came to the correct decision and laid his hand down.
