Short Dinner Break

Both Brett Richey and Scott Clements wanted to play right on through and not take a dinner break, but Roland de Wolfe did want one. The three players eventually agreed on a shortened dinner break of just 35 minutes. We'll see you back here then.

Scooping Chips from Richey

Brett Richey limp-called a raise to 60,000 from Scott Clements out of the small blind. Clements was in the big blind.

The flop came down {A-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {5-Spades} and Richey checked. Clements fired 105,000 and Richey called.

The turn brought the {Q-Clubs} and both players checked. The river was the {8-Spades} and Richey checked again. Clements fired a bet of 330,000 and Richey called.

Clements showed {7-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {2-Spades} for trip fives and the second nut low. He scooped the pot and dropped Richey down to 600,000 chips.

In another three-way limped pot, the flop came down {9-Spades} {8-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} and everyone checked. The turn produced the {9-Diamonds} and Brett Richey checked first. Scott Clements fired 30,000 and then Roland de Wolfe called. Richey folded.

The river brought the {4-Spades} and Clements led for 40,000. De Wolfe put in a raise to 140,000 and then Clements folded {J-?} {9-?} {3-?} {2-?} face up.

Two Pair Beat by Two Pair

Roland de Wolfe raised to 55,000 from the button and both the other players called from the blinds. The flop came down {Q-Clubs} {5-Spades} {3-Diamonds} and everyone checked. The turn brought the {4-Hearts} and again everyone checked.

The river was the {10-Diamonds}, and Clements led for 100,000 after Richey checked. De Wolfe called and then Richey folded.

Clements declared, "Tens and fives," before Roland showed him {A-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {8-Clubs} for top two pair, queens and tens, to scoop the pot.

Brett's Living Large

We're down to three-handed poker and Brett Richey now has his first-ever six-figure score wrapped up. Prior to this, Richey's largest tournament cash was for $44,520. If he happens to win this event, Richey will just about double his career tournament winnings.

Play Slowing Down

The play has slowed down significantly over the past 20 minutes or so. There's not much betting or raising going on as the players are looking for careful footing to maneuver their way closer to the bracelet.
