Buhaiov Takes From Ricci on the River
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Sam Grafton opened under the gun to 2,200 and picked up calls from Andrea Ricci, Gregoire Auzoux, Mauro D`Agostino on the button. Nazar Buhaiov put in the three-bet from the big blind, squeezing Grafton out of the pot. Ricci called, as did D`Agostino, which made for an inflated preflop pot.
The flop came 
and the action checked around. The turn fell 
and Buhaiov bet 15,000. Ricci asked D`Agostino his stack size and took a time bank card before making the call. D`Agostino folded.
The river came 
and both players checked it back to showdown. Buhaiov showed 
for two pair and Ricci threw his hand into the muck.
