Virk Has Tough River Decision
Action was opened under the gun by John Ripnick to 2,500. Only Arshdeep Virk in the small blind and the big blind called.
The 4?8?7? landed on the flop and the blinds checked to Ripnick who continued for 3,500. Only Virk called.
The turn brought a K? and Virk checked again. Ripnick put out another bet of 11,000. Virk called.
The 8? landed on the river and Virk checked once more. Ripnick sat in the tank for over a minute before putting out a large bet to the tune of 45,000.
Virk was in the blender. He took his time and appeared to be going back and forth on a call. Eventually his chips made it into the middle.
Ripnick tabled Q?10? for a triple barrel bluff and Virk tabled 5?2? for a rivered flush. Virk dragged the pot but both players are still very healthy when it comes to chip count.
