Rizov Gets Mestre Off Chop
Level 27
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Raul Mestre was in the hijack and raised to 125,000 with 9♦8♦. Miroslav Rizov fancied a flop with 9♣7♦ in the big blind and tossed in calling chips.
Mestre flopped two pair on 9♠Q♦8♣ and continued for another 125,000. Rizov check-called, after which the Q♣ turn was checked by both players.
Rizov then fired 375,000 on the 2♦ river, unknowingly playing the same hand as his opponent. Mestre went deep into the tank, spending no fewer than four time banks before folding his cards.
