Correia Scoops a Monster Pot
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Alexandre Correia limped under the gun, Alexandre Le Vaillant called in early position and Nozomu Shimizu squeezed to 80,000 from the button. Both players called.
The action checked to Shimizu, who continued for 85,000 on the 8?10?6? flop. Correia called and Le Vaillant folded.
The 8? turn saw Correia check again. Shimizu bet out 275,000 and Correia moved all in, just covering Shimizu's stack of 698,000. Shimizu called.
Nozomu Shimizu: K?K?
Alexandre Correia: 9?8?
The river landed the 7?; Correia's turned trips earned him one of the biggest pots of the tournament so far, eliminating Shimizu in the process.
