Vieira Chipping Up Early

We arrived at the table just as Joao Vieira checked his option from middle position. The board was reading and his opponent made it 3,000 to go from the cut off. Vieira made the call and both players then watched the fall on the turn.

Vieira would once again check-call a bet of 6,000 before the dealer produced the on the river. Facing another check, the player in the cut off led out for 9,000. He sat forward in his chair with his arms crossed waiting on Vieira to make a decision.

Over two minutes passed before Vieira reached for his chips and raised it up to 24,000. His opponent didn’t reply instantly, taking his time before finally making the call.

Vieira then tabled his for the flush which prompted his opponent to toss his cards into the muck.
