Pepping Moves In

Nível 29 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

The action was joined on a board of Q♣6♣3♥.

Armin Rezaei checked his option over to Roelof Pepping who put out a bet of about 200,000. Rezaei called.

The 10♦ landed on the turn and and Rezaei checked once more. Pepping continued the story and put out a wager of 425,000. Rezaei called again.

The 3♠ rolled off on the river and when action checked to Pepping he sat in the tank for about a minute before announcing he was all in.

Rezaei seemed to let out a sigh as he was facing an all in for his tournament life. He sat in the tank for over three minutes but eventually found a fold.

Pepping scooped the pot and is now likely sitting close to the chip lead.
