No River Value for Pak

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Gerard Carbo raised to 160,000 from the cutoff with 97, and Edward Pak defended his big blind with 66

The dealer laid out a 486, and with his flopped set, Pak checked to Carbo, who bet 180,000, which Pak called.

Pak checked once again on the A turn, and this time Carbo checked behind. The 3 completed the board, and Pak led out for 580,000. Left with just nine-high after the runout, Carbo folded.

The 4 completed the board, and Pidhrusnyi opted to check. When Dwyer checked behind, Pidhrusnyi tabled 43 for a rivered pair. Dwyer flipped over QQ for a better pair to claim the pot.
