Long Hangs On to Leave Riffel on Fumes
Level 23
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Matthew Riffel moved all in from under the gun and Jacob Long called in the small blind.
Jacob Long: 9♣9♦ 
Matthew Riffel: K♣Q♣
Both players were racing with nearly identical stacks as the flop came J♥10♣4♥, giving Riffel a straight draw to go with his overcards. The 5♠ turn was safe for long, while Riffel missed the 7♣ river and Young secured the pot.
The stacks were counted down and Long had 490,000 remaining. Riffel barely had him covered and was left on an extreme short stack. He was forced all in from the big blind the next hand and was up against Blair Hinkle, but both players showed jack-nine and ended up chopping the pot.
