Brett Richey Eliminated in 2nd Place ($152,618)

Brett Richey - 2nd Place
Brett Richey - 2nd Place
After a raise and a call preflop, the flop came down {10-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} between Roland de Wolfe and Brett Richey. De Wolfe checked and Richey fired a bet of what looked like 140,000. De Wolfe announced that he was all in, which really meant that he was betting the pot. Richey then went all in and Roland made the call.

Showdown
Richey: {Q-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {10-Hearts} {9-Hearts}
De Wolfe: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {4-Hearts}

It would be Roland's two pair up against Brett's top pair and wrap draw. The two stood from the table and watched the dealer as the crowd swarmed the table.

The turn was the {2-Spades} and then the river was the {A-Hearts}. Richey failed to catch up and was eliminated in the second place. Roland de Wolfe won the hand and collected all of the chips. Richey took home over $150,000 for second place and his largest tournament score yet. De Wolfe won nearly $250,000 for first place and the coveted WSOP gold bracelet... his first!
