Brett Richey Eliminated

Stud-8

Crippled to 80,000 in chips on a previous hand, Brett Richey made his last stand in stud-8.

Brett Richey (X)(X) {10-Diamonds}

(X)
Ville Wahlbeck (X)(X) {5-Diamonds}

(X)
Vitaly Lunkin (X)(X) {4-Clubs}

Ray Dehkharghani (X)(X) {3-Spades}

Richey completed on third street and got three callers in Ville Wahlbeck, Vitaly Lunkin and Ray Dehkharghani. The action checked to Richey on fourth street, he bet, and all three opponents called. Wahlbeck had first action on fifth street when he made an open pair of queens. He bet, Lunkin and Dehkharghani folded, and Richey put the last of his chips in.

Richey showed {10-Spades}

for a pair of tens while Wahlbeck held {5-Hearts}

for queens and fives. With the {9-Hearts}

he hit on sixth made him tens and nines and gave him a ray of hope for survival, but the river was no help and Richey departed in 18th place.

With Richey's elimination, we're on the money bubble and play has gone hand-for-hand.
