Riise Falls Near the End of Day 1a

John Arne Riise raised to 8,000 on the button and was called by Joao Vitor and Leonardo Boen in the blinds. The flop came A♠7♥6♣ and the action checked around to the 5♦ on the turn.

Vitor led out with a bet of 5,000 which Boen just called. Riise raised to 15,000 and both of his opponents called. The river brought the 10♦ and Vitor checked. Boen put together a bet of 30,000 and Riise jammed all in for around 65,000. Vitor quickly folded and Boen called just as fast.

Riise turned over 7♠7♦ for a set of sevens but Boen turned a straight with 8♣4♠ to eliminate Riise near the end of Day 1a.
