Riesenberg Can't Make the Call

A player in middle position raised to 1,175 before Jason Riesenberg made the call from the next seat. The small blind also called and the flop came down {10-Spades}{7-Hearts}{6-Spades}.

The small blind didn't waste any time and just fired out a bet of 2,000. Only Riesenberg made the call to see the {5-Hearts} fall on the turn. The small blind then fired 6,000 and Riesenberg called once more, leaving himself with about 11,000 in chips.

The river completed the board with the {3-Hearts} and the small blind fired 10,000. Riesenberg tanked for several minutes, knowing that this very well could mean the tournament for him if he called and lost. He asked the player if he had two pair and also asked him if he always shook as much as he was. Eventually though, Riesenberg let it go.
