THE__D__RY Swings and Misses

Danny Ryan
Danny Ryan
On a board showing {10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{4-Spades}, Danny Ryan passed the honors to his lone opponent on the button who fired a barely-above-pot-sized bet of 3,450. Ryan tanked for quite some time, thinking out loud and telling his opponent, "You might have queen-jack or king-jack; something like that." After a minute or so passed, he finally made up his mind and said, "This might be a bad call, but..." and proceeded to toss his chips into the middle.

His opponent then tabled {A-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} for trip fours and Danny rapped the table, before sending his cards into the muck. "Smelled like jack-queen," Ryan said after the hand.
