Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Mike Richards opened to 5,000 from the cutoff and was called by the button, but then Matt Archer moved all in for 15,1000 from the big blind.
Richards responded by moving all in for more, covering the button, who eventually decided to get out of the way.
Matt Archer: Q♣Q♠
Mike Richards: A♥Q♥
Archer was in good shape with his queens, but the flop was a disaster as it came out A♣K♠7♣ to give Richards the lead with his ace.
Archer got some hope as the K♣ turn gave him a flush draw, but the river was the brick 9♠ and he was sent to the rail while Richards was awarded the pot.
Archer has since rebought and is back in the tournament at a different table, determined to turn his luck around.
