Joe Rieg

Sitting UTG+2 and down to less than 10 big blinds, Joe Rieg pushed all-in with his final 14,300 chips and got a call from the player seated in the hijack seat.

Before they could go heads up, though, small blinds counted out his own stack of chips about 7 times before re-raising to 45,000. Big blind got out of the way and UTG+2 threw his cards into the muck as well.

Rieg: A♠5♥    SB: K♦K♠

Flop: 8♦4♣2♠
Turn: 3♣
River: 10♠

Rieg was pretty well behind at the start of the hand, but he made a wheel on the turn and more than tripled up to get back to roughly a starting stack of 50,000.
