Riech's Run Good Continues as Neilson hits Rail

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Daniel Neilson
Daniel Neilson

From middle position, Ferenc Riech raised to 65,000 and short stack Daniel Neilson moved all in from the big blind for what looked like 250,000. Riech quickly tossed in the extra chips for the call and it was a coin flip for the tournament life:

Riech: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Neilson: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}

The flop came {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and the German had made quads. Neilson was not drawing dead yet, but needed perfect running cards for a straight flush. It was all over after the {7-Spades} turn, making the {5-Diamonds} river a painful formality as Neilson completed a worthless flush. The Aussie picked up A$10,145 for his efforts and Riech jumped into second place overall.
