Comeback Richey

Pot-Limit Omaha

Depending on who you ask, Brett Richey has a different nickname.
studrichey...razzrichey...plorichey...acesrichey...Now, it's comebackrichey.

He started the level with a mere 4,000, but after two stud double-ups and this PLO double against Michael Mizrachi, he is up to 217,000.

Richey opened to 17,500 on the button and Mizrachi re-raised to 50,000 in the small blind. Richey went all in for 106,000, Mizrachi called, and the hands were revealed.

Mizrachi: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{8-Spades}
Richey: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}

The board ran out {8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} as Richey scored the double up with a wheel.
