A Surprising Turn

We were starting to get lulled into a stupor. Russell Crane raised to 100,000 from under the gun, winning the blinds and antes. Then Brock Parker raised to 90,000 from under the gun, winning the blinds and antes. Then Joe Serock raised to 95,000 from under the gun... but this time Jesse Rios called from the button. The blinds folded, and we were going to see a flop.

Which came {5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}. Serock continued with a bet of 160,000, and Rios quickly announced he was raising. He bet a total of 425,000. Serock rapidly moved all in, and Rios just as rapidly made the call.

Serock {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Rios {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}

Serock was looking for a heart, but the {10-Clubs} that popped out on the turn was even better. "Whoaaaa!" screamed the crowd at Serock's better set. The river was the {J-Diamonds}, and Rios was left shaking his head.

That hand pushes Serock back up to 2.5 million, and knocks Rios back down to 700,000.
