It proved to be the right call as he tabled {K-Diamonds}

for the lead against Alston's {A-Hearts}

.

The turn was the {3-Diamonds}

but the river was a repeat {7-Spades}

to give Alston trip sevens and eliminate Richardson from the tournament.

The Master Suspicious

[user67765]

Men "The Master" Nguyen raised from late position to 7,000 before Wayne Stanford moved all in. Tim Sciscoe flat called from the button and the action folded to Nguyen.

Nguyen questioned Sciscoe as to why he would just flat call there, and suspecting something strange he folded K-Q face up.

Stanford showed {A-Hearts}

but Sciscoe held {A-Spades}

!

The board ran out {2-Spades}

and Stanford is eliminated as Sciscoe moves to 79,000 chips.
