Riabov Goes From Zero to Hero
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/10,000, 100,000 ante
The first hand after the break saw an action flop of Q♣A♦Q♦ with under the gun player John Racener holding K♣Q♠ for trips, small blind Chad Lipton with a royal flush draw holding K♦10♦, and Riabov with A♠7♠ for top two. Racener threw out a bet of 250,000, which was called by both of his opponents.
The A♥ turn fired Riabov into the lead, and action checked through, bringing in the 5♠ river. Lipton checked, and Riabov took the betting lead to the tune of 500,000. Both other players managed to get away.
