Richards' Rollercoaster Ride

Level 36 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Mikhaile Richards found herself one player away from a $2,200 pay jump, as she went into the tank from under the gun. Eventually, a player at the table called the clock, and with just a few seconds left, she put in a min-raise, leaving just 1,700,000 behind. Action folded around to Ken Takayama in the big blind, who shoved, and Richards returned to the tank. After hearing "Payout!" from another table, she put in the call.

Mikhaile Richards: A8 All in
Ken Takayama: A6

As it turned out, she would have survived after all, as the two players chopped up dead money on the AK107Q runout.

The very next hand, she open shoved under the gun. Roland Israelashvili isolated two doors down, and the two were off to a flip.

Mikhaile Richards: AK All in
Roland Israelashvili: JJ

Israelashvili held on the 347Q4 runout, and Richards left with a smile on her face.
