Regretting Rizzo

We managed to catch up to the action at Giovanni Rizzo's table to find him involved in a pot with a {3-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{4-Hearts} board already spread out. We know some betting clearly had taken place already because there was around 12,000 already in the pot.

It was here on fourth street that Rizzo bet out 15,400 worth of chips and received a call from a player in late position. The {7-Hearts} river brought a check from Rizzo and an all in bet from his opponent for 17,075. Rizzo clearly had some thinking to do and went into the tank for a minute or two. Eventually Rizzo convinced himself he had the best of it and made the call. Rizzo's opponent flipped over {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts} for a set of jacks, which was apparently good enough because Rizzo deposited his cards in the muck.
