Ruivo Wins a Big One

The pot looked to contain around 10,000 already and three players were in the hand when the flop was dealt. Christopher Chaudey, in early position, bet 3,700. Michel Leibgorin, in mid-position, called. Manuel Ruivo, on the button, raised to 14,500. Both Chaudey and Leibgorin called.

The turn brought them the , now both Chaudey and Leibgorin checked. Ruivo bet 25,500 which sent Chaudey into the tank. He kept looking at the cards, his chips, and the board and to the stacks of his opponents. In the end, he reluctantly folded. Leibgorin folded immediately too. When Chaudey saw that, he was visibly upset with the decision he had made.
