Always on the River

After Peter Eastgate raised to150,000 from the cutoff, Nicholas Sliwinski called on the button, and Gert Andersen called as well from the big blind. All three players checked the {K-Spades} {Q-Clubs} {10-Hearts} flop, and when the {Q-Spades} came on the turn, Andersen and Eastgate again checked and Sliwinski bet 250,000. Andersen called and Eastgate folded.

The river brought the {A-Hearts} and Andersen and Sliwinski both checked. And that's when Andersen learned his {K-Hearts} {7-Hearts} had been chased down by Sliwinski's {A-Clubs} {9-Clubs}. Nicholas is now up to 3.7 million while Andersen still sits with 8.3 million.
