Lijo Spikes River to Double Up
Benjamin Winsor opened the action from under the gun with a raise to 2,600. Niko Koop was next to act and made it 7,500 to go. Cutoff Lander Lijo wanted more chips in the middle and put in the four-bet to 19,000. The action folded back to Koop, who made the call.
The flop fell 
and Koop checked to Lijo. Lijo put in a continuation-bet of 8,500, then Koop promptly shoved all his chips in the middle, barely covering Lijo. Lijo called off the bet before his shot clock reached zero and the hands were tabled.
Lander Lijo: 
Niko Koop: 
Koop had flopped a set of jacks and was in great shape to knock out Lijo, but the turn 
reversed the roles. Koop was now down to one out to win the pot.
It did not appear on the river 
and Koop sighed while he gave the vast majority of his chips over to Lijo.
