Brett Richey Doubles Up

[user22113]
[user22113]
On a {10-Spades} {9-Spades} {3-Diamonds} flop, action was checked to Brett Richey who bet 7,500. His opponent called and the {8-Hearts} turn led to an all-in shove by the unknown player. Richey snap-called and showed {9-Diamonds} {9-Hearts}. His opponent turned up {J-Hearts} {9-Clubs} and needed help. It did not come as the {4-Clubs} hit the river.

Brett Richey doubled up and is back near 90,000.

Steve "MrSmokey1" Billirakis is in the zone.

With over 90,000 in the pot, and a board reading {2-Spades} {3-Spades} {7-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {6-Clubs}, Steve Billirakis checked to his opponent who moved all in, having Billirakis covered. He tanked for about five minutes, counting his remaining 97,700 chips. He then confidently called and flipped up {Q-Spades} {10-Spades}. His opponent mucked, and Billirakis won the massive pot.

He is the chip leader now with 295,600.
