Goncalves Starts Off With a River Shove
Level 27
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
On the first hand of heads-up play, Marcos Kenne limped in with J♥5♣ from the button and Paulo Goncalves checked 8♣7♣.
The flop came 7♠5♥2♦ and Kenne bet 350,000 with a pair of fives. Goncalves raised to 850,000 after hitting top pair and Kenne called.
Goncalves checked the A♣ turn and Kenne bet 1,300,000. Goncalves checked to the 4♦ river and then moved all in for 7,000,000. Kenne folded as Goncalves wasted little time narrowing the chip gap.
