Richardson Scores Knockout; Pushes Out Best Hand

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

There was an all in for 37,500 and the button called before Ian Richardson jammed all in for more than 500,000 in the big blind. The button went deep in the tank for about three minutes before the clock was called. The tournament director gave the button 30 seconds and before the time ran out, the button folded 6x6x face-up.

Ian Richardson: AK
All-in player: QJ

The board ran out 74395, for Richardson's ace-king to hold. However, the button would have made a straight with his sixes.
