Richey Gets Richer

donpeters

John Hennigan was fresh off his double through Andrew Robl when he raised preflop. Brett Richey three-bet and then Hennigan moved all in.

"I hope you have pocket jacks," said Richey as he made the call.

Hennigan tabled a similar hand with pocket nines. Richey held the {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

.

The flop came down {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{6-Spades}

{3-Spades}

and Richey picked up a pair of queens to take the lead. He'd need to dodge a nine or running spades, as Hennigan held the {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

, in order to stay alive.

The turn brought some extra sweat when it put the {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

on board. The river missed Hennigan though with the {4-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

and RIchey doubled up. He was all in for 29,600 and now has over 60,000 while Hennigan was left with just 4,500.
