Riordan Doubles up
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
John Riordan got it all in preflop from the big blind, and found himself up against Rabah Ait Abdelmalek, who had originally opened on the button.
John Riordan: Q♠Q♦J♥10♦ 
Rabah Ait Abdelmalek: K♦K♠8♥6♠
Riordan had a tough task ahead of him, having to crack kings to stay alive. The 4♣4♦10♥ gave him two additional outs. He didn't hit either of them, but his rivered set on the 5♥Q♣ runout kept him in the tournament.
