Rich: {J-Diamonds}

Nicholson: {A-Hearts}

Rich flopped a pair as the flop came {J-Spades}

. A standing Rich remained optimistic but got no help when the turn came the {3-Spades}

and the river the {4-Hearts}

. Rich said his goodbye's and headed over to the payout table where he will collect $25,952 to ease the pain.

Playing Position

[user40108]

With the exception of the elimination of Jordan Rich, we haven't yet seen a showdown. A majority of the play has been blind stealing and the like.
