Joyce Loses Some to Reard
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Picking up the action on the flop, Alexandre Reard in the cutoff was involved in a hand with Toby Joyce in the small blind.
With the board reading J♠4♥A♥ and around 425,000 already in the pot, Joyce bet 110,000. Reard opted to flat to see a turn.
The turn came 2♥, prompting Joyce to slow down, checking to Reard, who bet 100,000. Joyce made the call.
Both players checked to showdown following the 4♠ river with Reard emerging best holding A♠10♠ to take down a sizable pot in his quest for back to back titles.
