John Arne Riise raised to 1,000 from under the gun and found callers in the shape of Taylor Paur in the small blind and the player in the big blind.

On the {2-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop, Paur and the big blind checked to Riise, who bet 1,150. Both of the blinds called and the {A-Spades} peeled off on the turn. All three players checked the ace's arrival so the dealer placed the {2-Hearts} onto the river.

Paur, under the watchful eye of Riise, bet 3,975. The big blind gave up on the hand, as did Riise.
