John Riordan Doubles Through Thai Ha
John Riordan opened to 90,000 from middle position and Thai Ha three-bet to 310,000 as the next player to act. The table folded back to Riordan and he called, leaving himself around 175,000~ behind.
Those chips went into the middle after the [9c5h2h] flop fell and Ha snap called to try to score the knockout.
Ha tabled [AdAs9d8d] and he needed to hold against [KcQh7h6c].
The former chip leader didn’t though, as the turn completed Riordan’s draw with the [4h].
The [8s] completed the board and when the dust settled Riordan was near 1,000,000.
