The Richey Get Richer

Brett Richey got the last of his ~12,000 chips into the pot on a flop showing {3-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {K-Spades}, and he was looked up by Scotty Nguyen, putting Richey at risk of elimination.

Showdown
Richey: {A-Spades} {A-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {9-Diamonds}
Nguyen: {A-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} {4-Hearts}

Both men were working with aces, and it was figuring to be a split pot as the cards lay. Richey picked up a bigger flush draw on fourth street with the {J-Hearts} though, and the {8-Hearts} that hit the river got him the rest of the way there. Richey ran down his nut flush to scoop up the pot, earning a big double up to 26,000.
