Herbert Richer

Richard Herbert has had a dramatic first level - sitting pretty on 50k right now, but it wasn't a smooth progression, more like two big pots - the second a little chunkier than the first.

"The very first hand of the tournament I played 5-6 of spades, and flopped an open ended straight flush. I managed to bluff 8k off - well, 5k on the river, against a guy with a set of Aces," he told me, his brow furrowing slightly.

Then he perked up as he said, "Then the same guy got it all in preflop against me with Kings vs. my Aces! So I'm on 50,000."
