Theuma Gets Quartered by Richards
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Four players saw the flop come down A♦6♥8♣. Evgeni Tourevski checked the small blind, and John Richards led out for 15,000 from the big blind. Corel Theuma called from the hijack, and Tourevski also flicked in the call.
Tourevski checked the 8♦ turn, prompting Richards to bet 30,000. Theuma called, but Tourevski folded.
Heads-up now to the 10♣ river. Richards jammed for roughly 55,000, which Theuma instantly called.
Theuma turned over A♣8♠7♦7♣5♠ for a full house, with an eight-seven low. Much to Theuma's surprise, Richards showed A♠8♥3♣2♦2♠ for the same full house, but a better low, meaning Richards got three-quarters of the pot.
