Ryan Eliminates Opponent
Rich Ryan, who is a top notch poker blogger for PokerNews, raised to 325 from the cutoff. The small blind folded and the big blind threw out a raise to 1,150. Ryan, who we understand is of no relation to legendary baseball pitcher Nolan Ryan, took his time before making the call.
The flop came down 
and the big blind led out for 2,150, leaving himself 2,025 behind. Ryan grabbed a big stack of chips and deposited them in the pot for a raise. The big blind did not look happy and tanked for awhile before making the call. Ryan proudly turned over 
for a set while the big blind sheepishly revealed 
.
The turn was the 
giving Ryan a full house and the win. After the 
was put out on the river, Ryan shook hands with his defeated foe and stacked his newly won chips with the grace and elegance of a champion. He is now sitting with around 15,000.
