Haiche Picks Off Ribeiro
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
EPT Prague champion Padraig O'Neill has chipped up to around 170,000 so far on Day 2, but he was a mere spectator this hand as tablemate Idir Haiche raised to 3,000 on the button. Bruno Ribeiro then three-bet to 15,000 in the big blind and Haiche called.
The flop came 8♦8♠9♣ and Ribeiro continued for 8,000. Haiche called and the 2♠ fell on the turn.
Ribeiro then moved all in and Haiche tanked for a minute before calling for his last 36,500. Ribeiro could only show A♠J♥ for ace-high, while Haiche turned over 10♦10♠.
The river was the 6♥ and Haiche's pocket tens held up to earn him the double up.
