Schusteritsch Survives on an "Action River"; El Arigie Runs Into Aces
Graeme Newman raised to 12,000 in the hijack, Josef Schusteritsch moved all in for 58,000 in the big blind, and Newman called.
Josef Schusteritsch: A♠Q♥ 
Graeme Newman: J♣5♣
Schusteritsch remained in the lead on the 8♠4♥K♥3♥ board, while the river came the J♥. A few players at the table thought Newman had won the pot with a pair of jacks, but the dealer pointed out that Schusteritsch had improved to a flush to double up.
"Action river," Newman joked as he gave up the pot.
At another table, Raif El Arigie was all-in for his last 65,000 from early position and up against Diogo Duarte on the button.
Raif El Arigie: J♥J♦
Diogo Duarte: A♦A♥
El Arigie's jacks were crushed by Duarte's aces, and Duarte improved to top set on the A♣2♣7♠ flop. The board ran out 8♥Q♥ and El Arigie was sent to the rail.
