Ritchie Overcoated Too, But It's No Problem

Pot-Limit Omaha:

Getting overcoated by a board pair is not a pleasant experience, but somehow Brett Richey made it work anyway. Richey raised {k-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {a-Diamonds} {j-Spades} pre-flop, then called Justin Smith's button re-raise. Richey flopped two pair, {8-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {k-Spades}, and check-called 7,200. The turn wasn't a great card for Richey, the {8-Diamonds}, making his hand kings and eights with an ace kicker. He check-called another 16,800.

Both players checked the {2-Clubs} river. Richey's hand as enough to take down the pot.
