Rezaei Shuts Down on the River

Level 30 : 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Armin Rezaei raised to 1.6 million from under the gun and Danick Landriault flat-called from the cutoff on his left. The rest of the table folded and the dealer fanned the flop of {9-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Clubs}.

The river brought the {9-Spades} and Rezaei used a time extension before finally shutting down. Landriault quickly checked back and the cards were tabled. Rezaei showed {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} while Landriault held {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs} to claim the pot.
