Ulmer Leaves Rivest Short

Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Kevin Rivest opened to 125,000 from under the gun and Timothy Ulmer defended from the big blind.
The flop came 5?7?8? and Ulmer lead out with a bet of 75,000 that was called by Rivest.
Ulmer fired a second barrel on the 2? turn, this time for 225,000. Once again Rivest made the call.
On the Q? river Ulmer checked, Rivest bet 275,000 and Ulmer snap-called.
Rivest could only show J?9? for a bluff while Ulmer tabled 7?4? for just a pair of sevens to take down a sizable pot.
