Event 1: Hwang Rivered in Three-Way Pot

Four players, including Andy Hwang and a short stacked Eric Riley, committed 2,100 before the flop, which fell .

All fur players checked around to bring the to the table on the turn. Another check to Riley prompted an all-in shove of 2,400, and with the action back on him after another player flatted, Hwang took some tome to ponder his options.

Eventually, the winner of last year's WPT Borgata Winter Poker Open, opted to smooth call as well, and the fourth player then got out of the way.

On the river, both Hwang and the other player involved tapped the table, with Hwang slowly revealing just the in hoped his pair was good. It was enough to force a muck from the unidentified player, but Riley triumphantly revealed his for a better pair on the river.

Even with the hit, Hwang is still sitting comfortably with an above average chip stack, while Riley bought himself some much needed breathing room with the drop of a card.
