Rizzo Gets Away With One
Level 11
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Francisco Pacheco opened to 12,000 in the hijack and was called by Leo Rizzo on the button along with David Miscikowski and Rui Bouquet in the blinds. The flop came Q♦J♦6♣ and the blinds checked to Pacheco who continued with a bet of 25,000. Rizzo raised to 55,000 which got both of the blinds to fold but Pacheco called.
The turn was the 5♣ and Pacheco checked this time. Rizzo dropped in a stack of 375,000, enough to put Pacheco to the test for his remaining 276,000 chips. Pacheco mulled it over for a minute and then decided to lay his hand down.
He then proceeded to use his "rabbit-hunting" card and Rizzo tabled 8♦7♦ for a combo draw. The K♥ was revealed on the river and Rizzo would have bricked it all.
