Riess Bets the River With a Flush
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Sam Soverel raised to 10,000 and Ryan Riess called from the cutoff before the rest of the table got out of the way.
The flop was 8♦Q♥9♠ and both players checked to see 8♠ on the turn. Soverel checked again and called when Riess fired 12,000. The river was 4♠.
Soverel checked the river and went into the tank when Riess tossed out 26,000. After a few moments of thought, Soverel called and mucked when Riess turned over K♠J♠ to take the pot.
