Byrnes Gets Lucky to Double Through Richards

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Bill Byrnes
Bill Byrnes

Bill Byrnes limp-shoved for 37,000 from the small blind over a raise from John Richards in the big blind. Richards called.

Bill Byrnes: {k-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
John Richards: {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

Richards improved to top pair on the {9-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} flop, but the {7-Diamonds} gave Byrnes a straight draw, and the {6-Clubs} river completed the straight for Byrnes, sending a healthy chunk of chips from Richards over to May's HPT St. Louis Main Event champ.
