Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Juan Riedinger raised under the gun to 1,200 and the player next to him shoved for his last 2,800 chips. It folded to Aaron Massey on the button who four-bet to 7,000 and Riedinger looked at Massey's stack before shoving. Massey called all in for a total stack around 26,000 to create a three-way showdown:
Aaron Massey: A♥K♣
Second player: A♦J♣
Juan Riedinger: 7♣7♠
The board 8♣2♠9♥10♠J♥ improved Riedinger's hand into a straight to scoop the pot and bust two players in the process.
