The Big One (Again)

Level 32 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

John Riordan made it 250,000 from the button again, and Mike Morton defended his big blind once again.

The dealer spread out a flop of {3-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {5-Diamonds}, and Morton checked. It was eerily similar to the previous pot as Riordan's 325,000-chip bet was check-raised again, this time to 900,000. Riordan called again, and that brought them to the {3-Hearts} turn. Morton has a penchant for firing chips around in this heads-up match, and he announced an all in to put his opponent to the ultimate test. Riordan spent a few minutes in the tank as he considered the decision for his last 3.84 million chips, shooting the occasional glance up at his opponent to try and help his thought process.

After some time, Riordan called, and a pot of 10 million chips was up for grabs. Riordan's {10-Diamonds} {10-Spades} was in the lead, but Morton's {4-Spades} {6-Spades} had plenty of outs to end the tournament right there.

River: {8-Clubs}

That's a blank, and it sends the biggest pot of the tournament to Riordan. He's got those 10 million chips now, leaving the other 4.2 million for Morton.
