Race for the Chip Lead

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante

Shander de Vries raised to 24,000 from the cutoff and was met with a raise to 60,000 from Brett Richey in the small blind. De Vries wasted little time in moving all in for 403,000 and Richey called to create a monster pot.

De Vries: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Richey: {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}

Once again it was a race for the chip lead. The rest of the table watched anxiously as the flop came down {10-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{10-Clubs}. De Vries had survived the first three cards, which was followed by the {K-Clubs} on the turn. Richey picked up some extra outs, but none managed to hit as the {9-Clubs} peeled off on the river. Richey took a big hit down to 295,000 while de Vries doubled to 835,000.
