Bastos Takes One Down on Showdown
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Eugenio Bastos opened to 2,000 and found two calls from Marcos Thielke and Fabio Peluso.
The three players saw a flop of A?9?9? and the action checked around.
The turn card came A? and Thielke led out for 2,500 and found only the original raiser Bastos with the call.
The river came Q? and both players checked and showed their cards: Thielke had 3?3? and Bastos had 10?10?.
Thielke suggested a split pot and the dealer at first was chopping up the chips until the table pointed out the winning hand was for Bastos. "It nearly worked," said Thielke with a big smile.
