Riordan Nearly Locks It Up on the Turn
Level 16
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
There was a three-way all in that saw John Riordan at risk for 102,000, Josh Arieh was at risk for 152,000 and Roman Hrabec was the big stack that had both players covered.
John Riordan: A♦K♥K♦J♣
Josh Arieh: A♣K♠6♦4♣
Roman Hrabec: A♥Q♥6♣2♣
The flop came 10♠8♥7♠ and the 10♦ paired the board on the turn. Riordan was still ahead with his pocket kings and his opponents were nearly drawing dead. Arieh was the only one with some equity, needed a five or the lone remaining ace in the deck. The river was the 3♦ and Riordan held on for a triple up, while Arieh claimed the small side pot.
