A Rivet-ing Hand

Level 12

Stud-8

A big three-way Stud-8 hand over on Table 291 just drew our attention involving Guillaume Rivet, David Bach, and Brett Richey. We picked up the action on fifth street, when the betting was capped (a bet plus four raises). On sixth street, Bach bet, Richey called, and Rivet called with his last 6,500. Bach and Richey then checked seventh.

Rivet: (X)(X) / {8-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{4-Spades} / (X)
Bach: (X)(X) / {K-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} / (X)
Richey: (X)(X) / {5-Spades}{2-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} / (X)

Richey turned over {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{A-Clubs}, meaning he had trip queens for high and no low. Bach showed {K-Spades}{J-Spades}{9-Hearts} for two pair and no low. And Rivet showed {K-Clubs}{7-Spades}{3-Spades} for a spade flush and a low to boot, enabling him to scoop the huge pot.

Rivet rockets to 360,000 with that one, while Bach slips to 400,000. Richey fell to 55,000, but doubled back on the next hand and now sits with about 115,000.
