Riccobono Wins

[user198205]

After a series of hands where Al Riccobono's opponent ended up all in a few times, Riccobono finally put the final nail in his opponent's coffin.

Preflop the other player raised and Riccobono called. The flop came {10-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} and Riccobono check-called a bet from the other player. When the {10-Clubs} came on the turn Riccobono check-raised and the other player ended up all in.

Riccobono: {j-Hearts} {8-Diamonds}
Opponent: {7-Hearts} {6-Hearts}

The other player looked poised to double with his pair of sevens, but the river brought the {8-Spades} giving Riccobono a pair of eights and the win. Riccobono is our next player to move on to round two.
