Richards Knocks Out Ortega

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

In a heads-up pot, the flop read {a-Spades}{4-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and James Richards check-called a bet of 7,000 from Eddy Ortega in the big blind.

Things heated up on the {3-Clubs} turn. Richards checked again and Ortega fired 13,000. Richards thought about his move for a minute and raised to 100,000, putting Ortega at risk for his last 35,000 chips. The latter called and they tabled their cards:

Eddy Ortega: {2-Spades}{2-Clubs}
James Richards: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}

Richards had found a straight on the turn and Ortega didn't get any help with the {8-Hearts} river to be eliminated from the Main Event.
