Pecelj had called from the big blind pre-flop, after Ribatallada had opened the action to 25,000 from the button. Pecelj asked how much the Spaniard was playing prior calling the raise.
Flop 3 5 5
They tangled on the flop, bringing the size of the pot to 180,000.
Turn gave the Q and now Pecelj put in a decent bet of 57,000. Ribatallada went for a long time in the tank, being part of his game strategy it seems. He generously folded his hand and play resumed.
Pecelj is looking for yet another cash in a big live event here in Malta as he had cashed in the Battle of Malta Main Event earlier this year, as well as at the Malta Poker Festival Main Event.
