Coelho Shoves the River in Lengthy Pot
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
A large crowd and a host of cameras began gathering around the table as Diogo Coelho and Abdelhakim Zoufri went heads-up to the river on a board of 7♠J♠4♥K♠K♦.
According to tablemate Laurent Manderlier, Coelho had raised to 50,000 under the gun, then called when Zoufri three-bet to 150,000 in the hijack.
Both players checked the flop and Coelho led out for 50,000 on the turn. Zoufri then raised to 250,000 and Zoufri called.
"This hand has taken 15 minutes already," Manderlier said. Coelho then moved all in for 1,330,000 on the river, sending Zoufri deep into the tank.
He continued to consider the decision for another few minutes before he slid his cards into the muck and Coelho took the pot while the crowd began to disperse.
