Tekle Mariam Takes a Big One from Rizov
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Henok Tekle Mariam raised to 30,000 from the hijack and Miroslav Rizov three-bet the small blind to 125,000. Tekle Mariam called.
Rizov bet 115,000 on the A♥7♣8♥ flop and Tekle Mariam called.
The 3♠ came on the turn and Rizov fired a second barrel of 265,000. Again, Tekle Mariam called.
The J♠ completed the board, and Rizov elected to make the smallest bet possible, just one big blind of 15,000. Tekle Mariam quickly called and Rizov showed K♠J♥ for a pair of jacks. Tekle Mariam had him beat with A♣Q♠ for top pair, and the large pot went his way.
