Ritchie Loses Some; Goes Bust Soon After

On a flop of {2-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{6-Spades}, the small blind player checked to Charles Ritchie who fired out 20,000. Doug Yamashiro made the call from the button and the small blind player folded.

The turn came {7-Hearts} and Ritchie announced that he was all in. Ritchie had Yamashiro covered, so this call was for Yamashiro's tournament life. He made the call, flipping up {A-Hearts}{3-Hearts} and was ahead of Ritchie's {9-Spades}{5-Clubs}.

The river bricked for Ritchie, pairing the board with the {2-Diamonds}. This hand knocked Ritchie down to under 100,000 and he would soon bust a few hands later.
