Riley's Rockets Send One to the Rail

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

After arriving back from his hour-long dinner break, Gary Riley looked down at the most pleasant sight a poker player can imagine: {A-}{A-} and another player announcing himself all-in.

Riley made the easy call and was dodging nines after his opponent tabled {9-}{9-}.

The final board rolled out {J-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} and Riley took the pot, eliminating his opponent in the process.
