Karakitukov Runs Into a Higher Boat

David Salituro

Level 19 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Tomas Ribeiro limped in with Q♦J♠J♦7♦, then called when big blind Veselin Karakitukov raised to 90,000 holding A♦10♦5♦4♣.

The A♣10♠J♥ flop had something for both players as Karakitukov made two pair, but Ribeiro flopped a set.

Action checked to the 10♣ turn where Ribeiro bet 105,000 with a full house. Karakitukov called with his lesser full house and the 6♠ fell on the river.

Ribeiro then led out for 140,000 and Karakitukov used a time bank before raising to 525,000. Ribeiro snap-called and took the big pot.
