O'Neill Catches Ruggeri
Level 30
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Umberto Ruggeri called from the small blind with 4♥2♥ and Padraig O'Neill checked his option from the big blind with 8♣7♦.
Both players checked on the 8♠Q♣10♣ flop and then Ruggeri led out for 300,000 after the 5♣ fell on the turn. O'Neill called with his pair of eights.
The Q♠ completed the board and Ruggeri kept his foot on the gas for a hefty 845,000 bet. O'Neill burned up a time extension as he contemplated his decision, but eventually decided to call.
Ruggeri tabled his bluff and O'Neill dragged the pot.
