Garrett Riley is no stranger to HPT. He has several final tables but is still looking for his first victory with the tour.
Garrett Riley went card dead quite some time ago. He was down to 30k and had no choice but to go all-in from the small blind with jack-ten offsuit. Jeff Copeland had opened for 100k.
