Riordan Hits the Rail
Level 14
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
No-Limit Hold'em
John Riordan open-shoved on the button for 72,000, and Eric Wasserson, next to act, called. The big blind folded.
John Riordan: Q♠10♦ 
Eric Wasserson: A♠J♥
Riordan took the lead, flopping top pair on 6♠9♠10♠, but importantly, Wasserson had the A♠ spade in his hand.
The 3♠ turn sealed the deal, and Riordan had tapped the table and stood up before the mandatory 4♣ river had even been dealt.
