Tough Spot for Wetemans Ends Up Good for Richardson
Level 20
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
In the first hand of the day, Patrick Caveriviere open shoved under the gun for exactly 100,000. Two positions down Benjamin Richardson reshoved for 180,000 total from the hijack. Action folded to Jasper Wetemans on the button who thought about it long and hard. He asked for the exact chip counts and glanced over to the stacks behind him.
"Tough spot" he said with a smile.
He eventually passed on the opportunity to knock out two players at once, and both blinds folded as well.
Patrick Caveriviere: 
Benjamin Richardson: 
The board ran out 
and Richardson knocked out his opponent. Wetemans was happy, he claimed to have had a pair and would have been out flopped.
