"What a Joke"
Richard Ryder raised 80,000 in the cutoff and Harsheel Kothari called in the small blind before Jason Liu three-bet 240,000 from the big blind. Ryder called, and Kothari made the fold.
The flop of 10?8?4? received checks from both players and the 2? hit the turn.
Liu led out for 310,000 and Ryder made the call.
When the A? landed on the river, Liu took a moment before cutting out a bet of 600,000. Ryder instantly announced a call while tabling 10?10? for a set of tens on the flop. Liu rolled over his A?A?, rivering the highest set and Ryder exploded out of his chair and walked about 10 feet away. A tablemate peeled the 600,000 off his stack for the dealer to reach and sent it to Liu.
After a few seconds, Ryder came back and said, "What a joke. What an absolute joke."
