Buzzer Beater by Ruivo
The action of the hand was recounted to PokerNews by a player at the table.
It was a three-bet pot preflop as both Manuel Ruivo from under the gun and Alessio Isaia from middle position put in 4,000 each.
The 8♦A♦J♣ flop led to a bet of 3,000 from Ruivo, and Isaia made the call.
Both players checked the Q♥ turn to bring the 3♦ river. Isaia checked the river before Ruivo put out a bet of 5,500.
Isaia decided to play for it all as he responded with a check-raise all in for 43,300. Ruiva went into the tank as he considered the decision. Eventually, Isaia opted to call the clock on Ruiva.
The clock began ticking, and just as the clock ticked to one second, Ruiva slapped down two green chips on the table for a call.
Ruiva's last-second decision was the correct one as Isaia showed K♥Q♦ for a pair of queens. Ruiva countered with A♥K♦ to claim the pot and eliminate Isaia.
