Richey Goes Back to Back

The Leapfrog, Brett Richey
The Leapfrog, Brett Richey
Brett Richey completed with the {Q-Clubs}, and Jan Sorenson made the call showing the {2-Clubs}.

Richey: (X-X) / {Q-Clubs} {4-Spades} {4-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} / (X)
Sorenson: (X-X) / {2-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {Q-Spades} / (X)

Fourth street saw Sorenson call a Richey bet. On fifth street, Richey bet again, but this time, Sorenson put another bet on top, which Richey called. Both players checked sixth street. Looking confident now, Richey fired a bet on seventh street, and Sorenson called. Richey laid out {A-Spades} {7-Spades} {9-Hearts} for aces up, and it was the winner as his opponent mucked his down cards.

-----

On the very next hand, the two men went at it again. Richey completed once more, this time holding the {K-Clubs}, and Sorenson made the call with a deuce again.

Richey: (X-X) / {K-Clubs} {J-Spades} {10-Clubs} {J-Hearts} / (X)
Sorenson: (X-X) / {2-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} / (X)

Richey bet on fourth, fifth and sixth streets, with Sorenson calling all the way. Both players checked seventh street this time. Richey exposed his down cards first, revealing {A-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}, which Sorenson couldn't match. With his split kings improving the whole way, Richey's Broadway straight was good enough to take down the second of back-to-back pots, leapfrogging him up near the very top with 142,000.
