New Chip Leader Found In Rybak

Level 4 : 150/300, 50 ante

Ahmad Ahmadi limped in from the under-the-gun position and so did Merad Meladze from early position. Igor Rybak raised to 1,100 from mid-position and action folded to Bennet Schmidt in the big blind who three-bet to 2,300. Ahmadi got out of the way quickly but both Meladze and Rybak called.

The flop came {4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{K-Hearts} and Schmidt bet 2,200. Meladze and Rybak both called again.

The turn brought them the {8-Clubs}, now Schmidt check-folded to the 6,000 bet by Meladze. Rybak did call however.

The river completed the board with the {5-Clubs}, Meladze shoved for 12,050 and Rybak snap-called. Meladze tabled {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts} proudly for the straight he had rivered, even when Rybak showed {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}. When the table and the dealer pointed out that Rybak had rivered a flush, he left the table while cursing out loud and walked away to another table to tell his friend what had happened. The rest of the table still laughed a bit afterward.
