Last Hand Before Dinner

[user46298]

Just when everyone's thoughts were turning gently to the buffet, a HUGE hand went down between Oyvind Riisem and Theo Jorgensen, big stackers both of them. Jorgensen raised on the cutoff to 7,500 and found Riisem reraising from the small blind. He made it 21,200 and after a pause, Jorgensen called.

Flop: {4-Spades}

Riisem checked, and Jorgensen bet 30k. Riisem then moved all in -- that's for a tidy stack of nearly 180,000...and he was insta-called by Jorgensen. The rest of the table fell quiet as...

Riisem showed: {A-Spades}

.
Jorgensen showed: {Q-Hearts}

.

Turn: {3-Diamonds}

"Ooooh," went the table.
River: {A-Hearts}

"Unf***believable," sighed Jorgensen as he paid off Oyvind Riisem to the tune of most of his stack, creating a new vier for the chip lead. "Holy moly," said a less potty-mouthed Annie Duke (who like at least half of the spectators muttered "split pot" on the river before looking closely at Riisem's hand).
