One Pair Too Many for Riabov
Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
In the first hand of streamed play, Artem Riabov raised to 120,000 from the cutoff with K♥J♥. Joey Weissman then put in a three-bet to 420,000 from the small blind with K♦10♣ which was called by Riabov.
Weissman continued for 240,000 on the A♥5♥A♦ flop, and Riabov put in the call with his flush draw. The turn K♠ brought a check from Weissman, and Riabov then took the initiative with a bet of 350,000. Weissman put in the call, leading the dealer to put out the J♣ river.
Action checked through, and Riabov saw the bad news that both players now shared the river jack as a kicker, and the two split the pot.
