WPT Champions Club member, Giacomo Fundaro, has the title that no poker players wants – bwin WPT Merit Cyprus Classic Bubble Boy.
Fundaro opens to 12,000 in early position, Baris Topkaya three-bets to 30,000, Alexey Rybin flats on the button, Fundaro moves all-in for 72,000, Topkaya just calls and Rybin also calls.
Flop: [9d] [8d] [6c]
Topkaya places a bet of 60,000 across the line and Rybin folds. It’s showdown time and Topkaya shows pocket jacks, but Fundaro is way ahead with pocket aces.
Turn: [Tc]
Topkaya adds a straight draw to his list of outs.
River: [Js]
Topkaya hits a set on the river and Fundaro is out. Rybin tells the table he folded ace-queen; had he moved all-in pre flop he would have eliminated both players after hitting a straight on the river.
Topkaya ~ 340,000
Rybin ~ 1,040,000
