"Worst River in World" for Schneiders as Ivanov Makes Quads
Felix Schneiders raised to 1,000 from the hijack. Fintan Hand, who had chipped back up considerably after being down to less than 15,000, called on the button, and Lyudmil Ivanov called in the big blind.
The flop paired when it ran out A♠10♥A♦ and Ivanov checked. Schneiders made it 800 to go, which both Hand and Ivanov called. The turn was the 7♦ and Ivanov checked again. Schneiders sized up to 6,500, almost a pot sized bet. Hand folded and Ivanov called.
The river came the A♣ and Ivanov checked. "Worst river in the world," said Schneiders as he checked behind to showdown.
Schneiders had 7♥7♣ for a full house, while Ivanov flipped over A♥J♣ for quad aces to win the pot.
It was indeed a bad river for Schneiders, but he saved himself from elimination by checking back the river.
