Richey Takes One from Deeb

[user25067]

Hold'em

Freddy Deeb limped in from the small blind, Brett Richey raised from the big and Deeb called. The flop came down {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

{7-Clubs}

{6-Diamonds}

and Deeb passed the action to Richey, who bet. Deeb came back with a raise, and Richey called. The turn came the {6-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

and Richey called Deeb's lead bet. Both players checked the {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

on the river.

Richey's {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

{4-Diamonds}

was good against Deeb's {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{8-Spades}

for a busted straight draw and he increased his stack to 290,000. Deeb was still quite healthy, though, with 630,000 in chips.
