Rivet Richer

No-Limit Hold'em

Gabe Kaplan checked to Guillaume Rivet with the board reading {k-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}. Rivet bet 4,100, Kaplan raised to 11,200, and Rivet called.

The turn was the {a-Spades}, and Kaplan led for 22,000. Rivet called.

Both players checked when the {7-Clubs} fell on the river, and Rivet opened up {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts} for top two. Kaplan mucked, and Rivet raked in the pot.
