Riss Misreads His Double-Up
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Alain Riss raised it up in the cutoff and Clement Thumy reraised to 13,500 on the button. Todd Peterson four-bet jammed all in for 91,500 in the big blind and Riss stuck in the last of his 56,000 chips. Thumy asked for a count but decided to fold and the two hands were shown.
Alain Riss: Q♠Q♦
Todd Peterson: J♠J♦
The board ran out A♠8♦6♠8♠3♠ with four spades on the board. Riss slammed his fist on the table in disappointment until he realized that he also had a spade in his hand for the better flush to double up.
