Riordan Slips a Bit Further

We missed the preflop action, but it looks like John Riordan had three-bet a middle-position raise from the button. That's our best guess, but we know for certain there was more than 100,000 in the pot as the two men headed off to the flop.

The dealer spread out {9-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {K-Spades}, and Riordan continued out with a small bet of 26,000. His opponent check-raised to 76,000 total, though, and Riordan flicked the extra chips from his stack and into the pot. That brought them to the {Q-Diamonds} turn, and the check-raiser quickly announced an all in for about 225,000. Riordan had that covered by nearly double, and he tanked for a minute or so before surrendering his cards into the muck.
