Riesenberg Makes Nice Start

Jason Riesenberg
Jason Riesenberg
Jason Riesenberg opened up from middle position to 180,000 with Nicholas Sliwinski making the call from the small blind. They took a flop of {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and both players checked.

The turn was the {9-Diamonds} and Sliwinski checked again to Riesenberg, who fired out a bet of 320,000. Sliwinski made the call.

The river brought the {4-Diamonds} and both players checked it down.

Sliwinski showed {J-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for a pair and busted flush draw, but it was not enough to beat the {A-Clubs}{5-Clubs} of Riesenberg, who took down the pot to move up to 5.4 million chips.
