The Rise of Riesenberg

Jason Riesenberg
Jason Riesenberg

Jason Riesenberg opened with a raise from middle position, and it folded back around to Antoine Arnault who reraised from the blinds. Riesenberg made the call, making for a pot of about 60,000.

The flop came {5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}. Arnault thought about 20 seconds, then pushed out a bet of 35,000. Riesenberg took about the same amount of time to declare he was all in.

"Wow," said Arnault. Arnault had about 100,000 behind, and was covered by Riesenberg. Finally after about a minute he said "All right," tabling {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}, and Riesenberg flipped over his {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}.

The turn was the {4-Spades}. Then came the river -- the {4-Diamonds} -- and Arnault's first reaction was to clap his hands at the sight of the diamond. But then he realized he was beaten by Riesenberg's full house, and shook his head with a sad grin.

"New chip leader," said Antonio Esfandiari, sitting to Riesenberg's left. Actually Olivier Busquet's lead might still be safe -- he has 355,000 currently -- but Riesenberg is still stacking a lot of chips over there. We'll count 'em up shortly.
