Ferrando Triples up After Catching an Ace on the River
Level 5
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Hugo Freitas opened to 1,000 from early position and Fabrice Ferrando shoved for his last 3,800 on the button. The player in the big blind called cold and Freitas made it 12,000 to go. The big blind thought better of it and folded and a showdown was held between Freitas and Ferrando.
Fabrice Ferrando: A♣K♥
Hugo Freitas: Q♣Q♥
It was a classic race, but the 7♦7♣2♦8♠A♦ runout paired Ferrando's ace on the end to provide him a much-needed triple up.
