Richards Doubles Through Nortje
Level 2
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
With some 5,500 in the middle to the 8♣6♣5♥ flop, Jehan Richards checked and Marko Nortje bet 2,600 from the cutoff. Richards called and checked again the J♠ turn before calling a second barrel worth 8,000.
Following the Q♠ river, Richards checked the third time and Nortje moved forward his stack of T-5,000 chips. Richards instantly called all-in and Nortje told him "you win" before showing his 9♥4♥ for a bluff gone wrong. Richards had flopped the straight with 9♣7♣ to double for 17,600.
