Poker's Classic Flip

Level 18 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
John Riordan
John Riordan

No-Limit Hold'em

The action was joined as John Riordan had maneuvered his stack of 510,000 into the middle preflop from the hijack, and was at risk of elimination at the hands of Dan Smith, who was one seat to his right.

John Riordan: AK All in
Dan Smith: QQ

As the players from other tables gathered round hoping to see the bubble burst, the dealer burned and turned a 526 flop, giving Riordan a flush draw to go with his two overs.

It was one of those two overs that came to his rescue, as the K rolled off on the turn.

The 4 completed the board, and Smith paid Riordan his double-up.
