Rio Good to Rios

Level 15 (15,000/30,000/30,000)

Nearing the money bubble, Event #6: Limit Omaha 8 Championship winner Pedro Rios held the {a-}{4-} against the {6-}{6-} of Logan Hewett who had flopped a set as the board read {q-}{6-}{7-}{3-}.

The chips got all in the middle and the river was brutal for Hewett as the {5-} came off to give Rios the straight and move his chip stack well above a million.
