Ryder Gets Lucky

Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Richard Ryder was in position in a heads-up pot against Mason Vieth on a board of 9?Q?K?Q?.
Vieth checked on the turn and called a bet from Ryder. Vieth checked again on the 7? river and called another bet from Ryder, who showed A?Q? for trips as Vieth mucked in frustration.
"Your heart must have been racing!" commented Harsheel Kothari.
"It was on the turn," said Ryder. "I got lucky on the turn."
