"I Should Have Bet the River"
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
With 22,000 in the middle, the flop read Q♦6♥3♣, and Fouad Rabahie check-called a bet of 7,500 from Maria Konnikova.
The 10♦ fell on the turn, and Rabahie check-called another bet, this time for 17,000.
When the 9♥ hit the river, Rabahie checked for a final time, and Konnikova knuckled back.
Rabahie tabled Q♥9♠, making two pair, and Konnikova showed Q♣J♣.
"I should have bet the river," Rabahie said as he raked in the pot.
