Downward Swing for Riech Barely Registers

Giganto chip leader Ferenc Riech has taken a few hits - just now I saw him check call 2,500 on the turn of a Th 7c Ad 8c board, then check again on the 3d river. His opponent checked behind this time and turned over Qc Tc for a pair and a flush draw that never came in; it was good enough to win the pot.

Riech, who we understand was at one point over the 210,000 mark, is down to 180,000. To be fair to him though, that's still double what anyone else in the room has.
