Lellouche Survives Huge Scare

[user76023]

A huge pot got played out between Brett Richey and Antony Lellouche.

The board was read {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{5-Spades}

{5-Hearts}

and Lellouche bet 10,000. Richey raised to 35,000 and Lellouche made it 55,000. This raising didn't stop and quickly they were all in.

Lellouche showed {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

{5-Clubs}

{Q-Spades}

, but Richey showed a crushing {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{10-Diamonds}

{2-Spades}

{4-Spades}

for a boat. Lellouche needed the {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

to scoop. The turn was the {6-Spades}

{6-Spades}

and now Lellouche had the nut low draw. The river was the {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

, and Lellouche managed to salvage half the pot from somewhere.
