Richard Crushed in Two Hands
In two hands Joel Vazquez eliminated Luke Richard to lead Table #638 to heads-up.
Joel Vazquez : K♦Q♦ 
Luke Richard: A♥2♦
Vazquez immediately caught a pair on the Q♥5♦8♠ flop. The runout 9♥6♦ didn't help Richard resulting in Vazquez doubling up. He was so happy with his double up that he jumped around a bit to express his joy and excitement before going back to his seat.
On the very next hand, they were once again in a showdown, now with Richard at risk.
Luke Richard: K♥K♦
Joel Vazquez: 9♠9♥
Richard was looking forward to a double up when his kings held up on the flop 4♦A♦2♦. It also gave him a flush draw which made him the favorite in the hand. Nothing changed when the 4♥ fell.
But Vazquez caught a set on the 9♣ river evoking a cheer out of him and a visible sigh of frustration from Richards. Richard quietly left as Vazquez scooped the pot.
