Souriau Spikes the River
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Benjamin Souriau kicked the action from middle position, with a raise to 3,000. Adrian Mateos called from the cutoff, and Kyna England called on the button. When action got to Ruben Pinilla in the big blind, he put in a three-bet to 17,000. Souriau and Mateos called, but England folded.
Pinilla continued with a bet of 12,500 on the 3♥6♦5♣ flop, and both of his opponents made the call.
All three players checked the 8♣ turn, and the dealer added the river A♥ to the board.
Action checked round again, and Pinilla tabled J♠J♦. Souriau then revealed the river had improved him to top pair with his A♣J♣, and when Mateos mucked his hand, the pot was pushed in the direction of Souriau.
