John Riordan and Frank Hernandez have spent much of the last hour tangling with each other, and we find them once again involved in an all-in pot. Hernandez got his money in before the flop with 
, and he was in bad shape when Riordan put him to the test with the dominating 
.
Hernandez found a queen on the flop, but it was a disaster. The dealer spread out

and 
respectively.
With that, Hernandez has been giving his marching orders. He'll head to the payout desk to pick up $10,601 on his way out the door, and the remaining 15 players will get a small pay bump thanks to his exit.
Riordan looks to have retaken the chip lead with that pot, sitting now with 2.1 million in front of him.
