No Big Blind Special for Riva
Level 9
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
Sam Polo Riva defended his big blind against the raise of Carlo Mark from under the gun. A raising war broke out of the flop 
and it soon became evident why the stacks went in:
Riva: 
for a flopped straight
Mark: 
for bottom set
The 
turn immediately shut down all hopes of Riva and a meaningless 
river completed the board. The dealer proceeded to count the stacks and then informed Riva that he was covered, which was quit with a "yeah I know," a sip from the drink and a long sigh.
