Three players headed to a flop of K♣J♠2♣ and the action checked around to the 5♠ on the turn. John Arne Riise was the first to take a stab at the pot with a bet of 3,000. Feliks Saakyan raised to 9,000 on the button which got the big blind to fold but Riise still called.
The 5♣ paired the board on the river and Riise led out with a bet of 16,000. Saakyan went into the tank for over a minute before flicking in a chip to call. Riise knuckled the table as he showed A♥10♥ for air while Saakyan held Q♥J♥ for two pair to win the pot.
