Ryder Gets One Through
Daniel Scroggins opened to 800,000 from under the gun and Daniel Holzner called in the hijack as Richard Ryder came along from the big blind.
Ryder and Scroggins checked on the K♣3♠A♥ flop and Holzner bet 1,100,000. Both his opponents called. The duo checked again on the 6♣ turn and Holzner bet 1,400,000 this time. Both called again.
The 10♠ river completed the board and Ryder opted to lead all in for around 4,500,000. Scroggins folded and Holzner went in the tank for several minutes before folding.
An excited Ryder flipped over an apparent bluff with K♥J♠ for just a pair of kings and ran to his rail to celebrate. Ryder's celebration resulted in a bent jack of spades that needed to be replaced.
"Sorry," Ryder told the table.
"It's ok. It's the Main," a tablemate replied.
