Sousa Spikes a Straight; Cripples Viberg

Mathias Viberg opened pre-flop with a 110,000 raise and Ricardo Sousa made the call. The flop came {3-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and Sousa passed the first action to Viberg, who led out with a 170,000 bet holding pocket jacks. Sousa, true to his consistently slow and deliberate routine, took his time before check-raising all in and Viberg made a quick call. Ricardo tabled the {J-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}, needing a queen, an eight, running tens or running diamonds to stay alive, and it only took one more card for him to get there, as the {Q-Diamonds} fell on the turn.

Mathias was left with just over 100,000 in chips after the hand, while Ricardo soared past the 1.4 million mark.
