Ribaud Rocks Rasmussen

The flop reads [9d][7d][2d] and after almost a minute of thinking time PartyPoker qualifier Anders Bisgaard Rasmussen checks. Paul Ribaud instantly bets 11,000 into the 12,500 pot, his bet was probably the fastest I have ever seen anyone bet! Rasmussen does not seem fazed by the speed of the bet and he quickly calls.

The turn is the [5c] and Rasmussen checks again and Ribaud snap-bets a massive 53,000 which rocks Rasmussen and he seems puzzled. He stares at him for more than a minute before exhaling loudly and folding. Ribaud checks his cards and flicks them into the muck.

Rasmussen looks like a man who just folded the best hand.

Ribaud – 110,000
Rasmussen – 100,000
