MATTHEW
RIDLEY

2011 WSOP
Smoke Inn's 2011 winner of the Smoke Inn Series of Poker Matt Ridley made a strong run at this year's main event. His biggest chip stack had him at just under 60,000 in chips at one point, Matt was also five minutes from making it to day 2.

Heading into the final hand of the night Matt found himself in the big blind holding a nine and seven of hearts. Only one other player limped into the hand, so Matt checked his option. The flop turned a four seven nine rainbow giving Matt two pair and what he believed to be a very nice lead. Matt checked into his opponent who raised with a pot size bet. Matt called, the turn was another seven giving Matt a full house. From first position he again checked, only to have his opponent, the chip leader at the table, raise half his stack. Matt feeling he had a winning hand with a made full house pushed all in only to have an instacall from his opponent. They both turned their cards and Matt realized he was ahead as his opponent had a pocket pair of kings. The river card came a king giving Matt's opponent a better full house and sending him home only seconds away from making it to day two. Over all Matt said it was a great experience and there is no way he would have played that last hand any differently. It was a lot of fun and he would love to do it again despite going home on a very tough beat.
