Riech Returns to the Upper Chip Count Echelons

No sooner had we found Mr. Andreas Zauner in possession of over 300,000, and our old friend Ferenc Riech was right on his tail!

I caught the hand on the river, the board reading 6c 2c 3c Jh 8c and around 40,000 in the pot, and Mikucas Istvan had checked. Over to Riech on the button who tanked up for some time. Eventually he bet 17,800.

Istvan considered for a while and then made the call - and a moment later he was banging on the table and swearing under his breath, as Riech had revealed Ac 3h for the nut flush. Istvan is down to 55,000, and Riech is up to just about 300,000.
