Aprea Attacks Riordan Again
Level 29
: 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
From the button, John Riordan made it 100,000 to go, and Thomas Aprea called from the big blind.
Heads up, the two men checked the flop, and the landed on fourth street. That drew a leading bet of 175,000 from Aprea which Riordan called, and the filled out the board. Aprea fired another 300,000, turning up when he was called. That's a straight to the nine, and it's good enough to earn him another nice pot from a frustrated Riordan.
Aprea - 1.98 million
Riordan - 3.43 million
You read that right. Aprea had just more than 10 big blinds at the dinner break, and now a half hour later, he's in second place chasing Riordan.
