Jan Riha Soaring!
Level 7
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Jan Riha was already one of the bigger stacks on the table when this hand unfolded.
Sweden's Tommy Westerland raised the action from mid-position to 2.5k. France's Jerome Launay whose stack already dwindled to around 20,000 declared all-in from the small blind. Czech Republic's Jan Riha raised over the top and Westerland quickly got out of the way.
Launay turned over 
and was disappointed to see Riha with 
. The board was of no help, and Launay with good nature wished his opponents good luck and left the tournament area. Riha now has one of the most commanding stacks in the room with 280,000 chips.
