Rigby Finds a Double
Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Nicholas Rigby opened to 225,000 from middle position and then called after Ryan Brown three-bet to 625,000 from late position.
Rigby checked on the 5♠Q♥3♣ flop. Brown decided to put his opponent all in and Rigby, with a "well guys if this is it it's been a hell of a run" to his rail made the call for his tournament life.
Nicholas Rigby: A♥Q♠
Ryan Brown: A♠J♠
Rigby held a commanding lead but the 10♥ turn did give Brown a gutshot. It did not come in, however, on the 4♥ river as Rigby raked in the chips in his quest to rebuild the big stack he had earlier in the day.
