Vella Leaves Rcheulishvili Devestated by River
Level 25
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Vito Vella raised to 160,000 from middle position before Levan Rcheulishvili made it 400,000 from the button. The action then folded back to Vella, who four-bet jammed for 1,410,000 chips and a snap call followed from Rcheulishvili, who had the covering stack.
Vito Vella: Q?Q?
Levan Rcheulishvili: A?A?
Rcheulishvili looked on as his aces were holding on the 5?9?6?J? board, but he retracted in his hoodie when the river was due to arrive.
It came down the Q?, giving a set to Vella. Vella cheered with friends because he had just doubled up, while Rcheulishvili sat in his chair dejectedly. He remained with eight big blinds to try and spin up to keep his Main Event dream alive.
