There's Only One Guillaume Rivet

Level 5

No-Limit Hold'em

Preflop, Guillaume Rivet raised to 1,600 from middle position before Shaun Deeb pumped up the action to 5,000 from the cutoff. Rivet made the call and they saw a flop heads up.

The dealer spread out the {5-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} and Rivet checked to Deeb who bet 3,700. Rivet called.

The turn was the {8-Hearts} and Rivet check-called again, this time for 10,500. The river was the {5-Clubs} and Rivet checked for a third time. Deeb bet 25,500 and Rivet made the call again. Rivet had {a-}{k-} which was good enough to ship the 90,000-chip pot and get his chip stack to 115,000. Deeb, on the other hand, falls to 48,000.
