Richardson Suffers Beat, Petkov Doubles

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Lachezar Plamenov Petkov (hijack) and Benjamin Richardson (button) got their chips in the middle before the flop with Petkov at risk for 1,610,000.

Benjamin Richardson: {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
Lachezar Plamenov Petkov: {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}

The flop came {10-Clubs}{5-Spades}{6-Hearts}, not doing much for either player. The {J-Clubs} on the turn gave Petkov all of the sudden some extra outs and the {Q-Hearts} on the river was one of them. Double up for Petkov, Richardson short.
