Whiteside Denied a Double Knockout on the River

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Bobby Nair limped in from the hijack before Matthew Riffel raised to 10,000 on the button. Dale Whiteside called in the big blind, while Nair then moved all in for 20,000. Riffel reshoved for 45,000, and Whiteside called to put both opponents at risk.

Bobby Nair: A♣6♣ All in
Matthew Riffel: A♦2♦ All in
Dale Whiteside: Q♥J♣

Whiteside took the lead on the K♣7♥J♠ flop with a pair, and Nair and Riffel were down to just two outs after the 9♦ turn. They caught one of the last remaining aces on the A♠ river, and they chopped up Whiteside's chips.

"Had them right where I wanted them. Couldn't have asked for a better spot," Whiteside lamented.
