Riordin Running Hot
Level 27
: 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
From the button, John Riordan opened to 85,000, and Jesse Okonczak called to see a flop from the big blind.
Heads up, the dealer gave the men to work with, and Okonczak check-called a bet of 125,000. He check-called another 275,000 on the turn, and both men checked through the river.
Okonczak showed for top pair, but Riordan's had him out-kicked. The chip exchange bumps Riordan up to 3.67 million, while Okonczak drops to about 2.1 million.
