Opener 1G: Rios Rivers Flush on Smith

Eloy Rios open-shoved preflop for 64,500 and the action folded around to Landon Smith who called to put him at risk. 

Rios: A♠Q♠
Smith: A♣J♦

Rios was ahead with his superior ace, but the flop of K♠J♠2♣ gave Smith the lead with his pair of jacks. 

Rios tapped the table and started to stand up, but the runout of 7♦2♠ gave Rios the nut flush on the river to stay alive with a double. 

Rios - 130,000
Smith - 140,000
