Rieder Makes Straight to Double
Level 35
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Matthew Shepsky potted to 1,750,000 on the button, and after some thought Andre Rieder decided to defend his big blind, not leaving much behind. He then check-called a shove from Shepsky on the 6♣5♥4♥ flop.
Andre Rieder: Q♠Q♥3♥2♥
Matthew Shepsky: A♥A♠7♠6♠
Rieder had flopped the low end of the straight, but Shepsky was still live with the higher straight draw. The runout 10♦2♠ was clean for Rieder, however, as he lived to fight another day.
