River Rider

After calling a raise preflop Barry Shulman and his opponent got to see a flop of {4-Spades}{K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}. Shulman was then check-raised all in. He eventually made the call with his {K-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and was far behind his opponent's {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}.

The turn came a meaningless {6-Spades}, but the river was one of the five outs Shulman needed the {10-Spades}. Shulman's rivered two-pair was enough to double up and stay in the tournament.
