Ripnick's Second Barrel Forces 2023 Main Event Champion to Fold
Level 1
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
John Ripnick opened 5,000 in the hijack and only 2023 World Series of Poker Paradise Main Event champion Stanislav Zegal came along from the small blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of A♥J♠10♣, and Zegal check-called a continuation bet of 7,000.
The 5♦ hit the turn and Zegal checked it over once again before Ripnick sized up to 35,000. This time Zegal surrendered the pot by tossing his cards toward the dealer.
