The River is Nasty to Rivers
Level 3
: 75/150, 0 ante
On a flop of 
, Mike O'Halloran checked from the big blind and the under-the-gun players did the same. The hijack followed suit, and then Ryan Rivers bet 800 from the cutoff. O'Halloran responded with a check-raise to 1,900, the UTG player folded, and the hijack called. Rivers then three-bet to 4,000, O'Halloran called, and the hijack got out of the way.
O'Halloran proceeded to check-call a bet of 6,000 on the 
turn, and then checked once again on the 
river. Rivers did the same, and showed why as his 
flopped two pair had been counterfeited. Sure enough, O'Halloran tabled the 
for aces and queens.
