Arish Nat Eliminated in 2nd Place ($80,761)

Paul Richardson was in the small blind and completed, putting action onto Arish Nat, who pumped it up to 400,000. Richardson called and the flop came . Nat made a continuation-bet of 400,000 and Richardson reached for chips.

"All in," he announced. Nat called instantly.

Paul Richardson:

"What is that?" said Nat from the other side of the table, leaning in to see what he was up against as he tabled .

Though Nat had a pair of threes, there were 17 cards in the deck he needed to fade between outs to an open-ended straight, overcards pairing, or the board double-pairing to counterfeit Nat's threes. The turn came to do the latter, leaving Nat in need of hitting a three to double or one of the remaining jacks, eights, kings, or aces in the deck to chop the pot. The river fell to improve Richardson further to a straight and the two got up to shake hands as the tournament concluded, with Nat taking home $80,761 for his efforts.
