Richardson Puts Cape On

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

With about 8,000 in the pot, hijack Paul Richardson checked the Q942 turn over to Franklin Yao. Yao bet 4,500, which Richardson called after some debate.

Richardson also checked the 6 river, after which Yao flicked in a single T-25,000 chips for an over-bet.

Richardson took a few minutes to puzzle the hand together, eventually tossing in a call.

"Good call," Yao said as he showed 85 for pure air. Richardson had called with 97, second pair, and he raked in the pot as he neared a six-figure stack.
