Ripper Finds a Double as Field Thins
Level 22
: 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Wagner Ripper is still hopeful to make back-to-back final tables in the €2,200 FPS High Roller. He finished third in the iteration at EPT Paris for €136,050 and is looking to best that score here in Monte Carlo.
When Viliyan Petleshko raised his button to 40,000, Ripper ripped in his stack of 250,000 from the big blind and received an instantaneous call from Petleshko.
Wagner Ripper: Q♥Q♦
Viliyan Petleshko: 9♥9♠
Ripper was a huge favorite to double up and achieved that feat when the board ran out J♥6♠6♥J♠10♥, keeping his dream of a victory alive.
