It's a Tie!

Matt Hansen

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Shannon Shorr raised to 100,000 from under the gun with A♦A♣ and John Riordan three-bet to 250,000 from the button with Q♥J♥. Shorr counted out his chips and soaked in the scene before he tossed out the chips to call.

The flop was 10♠K♠5♠ and Shorr checked the pocket aces. Riordan bet 75,000 with his open-ender and Shorr called to see 4♠ on the turn.

Shorr checked once again and Riordan checked back.

The river was A♠ and the board featured a full flush. Shorr used a time bank before he tossed out 210,000 and Riordan made the gutsy call to split the pot.
