Milne Catches a Lucky River

Richard Milne’s stack had dwindled to around 21,000 the last time we checked on him, but he’s now back over the starting stack after catching a lucky break on the river.

Milne raise to 1,100 from the cutoff and was called by Szymon Bujok (button) and Jussi Niemela (big blind). Niemela checked the arrival of the :::Qh:::6c:::3d flop, Milne fired a bet of 1,600 and only Niemela called. Niemela checked the :::5h turn and Milne checked behind.

Under the watchful gaze of Milne, Niemela then checked the :::2s river, opening the door for a Milne bet. Milne did bet, a total of 2,500 and Niemela called within a couple of seconds. He’ll perhaps wish that he didn’t because Milne turned over :::2c:::2h for a set of deuces.

"Nice," said Niemela sarcastically before tapping the table and watching as the dealer pushed the pot to Milne.
