The Rich Get Richer

Level 13: 2000/4000 (4000)
Entries: 116/346

Roberto Cilia, one of the current top stacks, opened the pot and was defended by Per Gaassand in the big blind. The flop came 358, and Gaassand led out with a bet of 16,500. Cilia responded by putting Gaassand all-in for his remaining 51,500 chips. After some thought, Gaassand made the call, and the cards were revealed:

  • Roberto Cilia: 99 (pair of nines)
  • Per Gaassand: Q5 (pair of fives)

With Gaassand behind, he needed help on the turn or river, but the board completed with the 4 and A, securing the pot for Cilia. Now sitting on more than 400,000, Cilia is looking strong and well-positioned for a Day 2 finish.

Roberto Cilia – 440,000
Per Gaassand – 0
