Minkov Raises the River, Real Action Elsewhere at the Table
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/3,500, 3,500 ante
Nikola Minkov bet 12,000 on a flop of 
from the button and Uri Reichenstein called in the big blind.
Both players checked the 
turn before Reichenstein led out for 5,500 on the 
river. Minkov came back with a raise to 42,500 and Reichenstein called, then mucked when Minkov turned over 
for a rivered ace.
While this hand was taking place, tablemate Hala Karam was attempting to solve a Rubik's Cube. She managed to complete it just as action reached the river as Merit Poker cameras came over to film her successful attempt.
