Riordan Edges Out Albrinck in Two Pair Showdown
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
PokerNews caught up with the action on a flop of K♣10♣Q♠ and about 13,000 already in the middle. Brad Albrinck checked it over to John Riordan, who fired for 3,500. Albrinck responded with a raise to 12,000, which Riordan called without much hesitation.
Both players slowed down on the A♦ turn, checking through with plenty of potential still on the board.
The river brought the 7♦, and after a brief pause, both players checked again.
Albrinck revealed K♦10♦ for two pair, but Riordan had him beat with A♣K♥ for a better two pair. The pot slid Riordan’s way, neither player seemingly too thrilled with their hands by the end.
