Berk Puts Riordan to the Test on River
Level 5
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
John Riordan raised to 1,200 under the gun and Michael Berk three-bet to 3,300 from the cutoff. Action folded back to Riordan and he called to see a flop of 4♥5♠9♣.
Both players checked and then did the same on the 4♣ turn.
When the Q♣ completed the board on the river, Riordan checked for the third time and Berk, who had the bigger stack, moved all in. Riordan had 22,000 behind and opted to preserve it by laying down his hand.
