The two players see a 
on the turn and the player in the small blind check-calls a bet of 5,800 from Riordan.
The river brings the 
and Riordan’s opponent checks.
Riordan bets 25,000, enough to put the player in the small blind all-in, and after thinking it through for a few moments, he makes the call.
Riordan tables 
for two pair with a queen kicker and his opponent shows 
to be eliminated.
John Riordan – 127,000 (159 bb)
