Rickford Decimates Han on the River
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
A massive pot was brewing between Keith Rickford in early position and Nga Han in the small blind as they each got all their chips in the middle before the flop.
Keith Rickford: A♣K♣
Nga Han: J♥J♦
The two opponents were racing, and Han remained in the lead with her jacks through the turn on a board of 10♠5♠6♠10♥. The river, though, was the A♥ and Rickford spiked two pair to win the pot.
The stacks were counted down, and Han had Rickford's remaining 281,000 covered by just 15,000 as Rickford earned the double up.
