Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante

The turn was the {5-Clubs} and Grigorian was out of his seat at this point. Riordan checked again and Grigorian checked it back, stating "Too much distraction. I have to check."

The river brought the {k-Clubs} and Riordan checked for the third time. Grigorian made a small bet of 1,000. "Let's see if you have a club," he said. Riordan responded with a big check-raise to 20,000 and Grigorian got his answer. "Ahh, you do have a club. Too big of a raise. A little smaller and I would have called." Grigorian sent his cards to the muck and Riordan moved over 200,000 chips.
