"I Should Have Bet the River"

Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

With 22,000 in the middle, the flop read Q?6?3?, and Fouad Rabahie check-called a bet of 7,500 from Maria Konnikova.
The 10? fell on the turn, and Rabahie check-called another bet, this time for 17,000.
When the 9? hit the river, Rabahie checked for a final time, and Konnikova knuckled back.
Rabahie tabled Q?9?, making two pair, and Konnikova showed Q?J?.
"I should have bet the river," Rabahie said as he raked in the pot.
