Oliver Lirio

Young Min Kang raised to 100,000 from under the gun with the K ♦️ J ♦️ and Marc Rivera three-bet the button to 300,000. Oliver Lirio then jammed for 1,200,000 in the big blind and Kang folded.

Rivera gave it a lot of thought and called.

Oliver Lirio: A ♦️ K ♣️

Marc Rivera: 9 ♠️ 9 ♣️

The Q ♦️ 9 ♥️ 8 ♣️ flop gave Rivera middle set and the 8 ♠️ turn locked up the exit of Lirio, making the 3 ♥️ river a formality.

Player Chip Count
Marc Rivera 5,600,000
