Level 29
: 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Under the gun, John Riordan opened to 100,000, his standard min-raise at this level. Next door, Thomas Aprea clicked it back to 200,000, and the table folded back around to Riordan. He responded by announcing an all in, and Aprea called off his last 640,000 chips to put himself at risk. He was a slight underdog to stay alive:
Riordan: 
Aprea: 
The flop brought a pair for Aprea as it fell 
to pull him into a big lead with two cards to come. The turn was the 
and the river the safe 
, and that's a double up for Aprea. He's back to 1.4 million now, while Riordan still has about three times that much.
