Cloutier Rivered to the Rail by Riga
Level 22
: Blinds 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante
The action started with a raise to 5,000 by Jannodin Riga and Alex Chong called, Christian Cloutier then three-bet to 20,000 for both opponents to call.
That led a trio to the 9♦8♦5♥ flop on which it checked to Cloutier, who bet 22,000. Riga then check-raised all-in for 155,000 to force out Chong while Cloutier briefly counted his stack. Several seconds passed before the Canadian made the call.
Christian Cloutier: J♠J♥
Jannodin Riga: A♦J♦
The 2♣ turn brought no flush and no diamond followed thereafter either, but the A♣ river spelled the end for Cloutier.
"I think he covers," the Canadian said without any emotions after the river beat and it was indeed confirmed to end his run on the final five tables.
