Richey and Robl Battle

Brett Richey was all in preflop for 11,600, but was behind and needed to get lucky to double up. He held two black fives against the two red queens of Andrew Robl. These two have a little history together that you can read about over at the Two Plus Two forums in this thread.

In an article on PokerNews that Robl wrote anazlying the High Roller Bounty Shootout, Robl mentioned this:

"I think this is one of the tougher tables, and not only because I'm at it. Brett Richey and I have had a small personal feud over words exchanged at a drunken $1/$2 no-limit cash game. He is a sick pot-limit Omaha and mixed game player, but as far as I know, not as experienced playing no-limit hold em."

Richey went on to flop a set of fives and take the lead as the first three cards rolled off {10-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}. The turn was the {6-Spades} and the river the {4-Spades}.

Richey doubled back to about the starting stack and is right back in the game.
