Rubiralta Gets Paid by Hadioglu; Pronilow Picks Off Hamilton
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
With around 20,000 in the pot on a board of 3♣2♦3♠5♥, Gerard Rubiralta bet 7,500 from the big blind and Nuri Hadioglu called on the button.
The river was the 7♥ and Rubiralta bet another 6,500. Hadioglu again called and Rubiralta showed 9♠9♣. Hadioglu mucked.
At the same time at another table, Ian Hamilton had shoved the river against Marc Pronilow with the board showing 5♣4♠9♥8♣8♥.
"Why would you bet so much on the flop if you had kings or aces," Pronilow wondered as he tanked for more than five minutes. The clock was eventually called and Pronilow allowed the countdown nearly to reach zero before calling for his last 11,000.
Hamilton showed A♥K♦ and Pronilow slammed down 10♠10♣ to win the pot and double up.
