Plante Makes The Right Call to Extend Chip Lead
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Umberto Ruggeri opened to 18,000 on the button and was called by Santiago Plante in the big blind.
Plante checked to Ruggeri on the 2?2?Q? flop and he bet 16,000. Plante then check-raised to 48,000 and, undeterred, Ruggeri made it 109,000 to go. Plante called.
Both players checked on the 10? turn and Plante checked again on the A? river. Ruggeri wasn't finished and bet 154,000 �� sending Plante deep into the tank.
After using two time extensions, Plante announced a call and Ruggeri turned over 7?7?. Plante had it beat and tabled Q?9? to claim the massive pot.
