Rigby Still Leads After Doubling Short Stack
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Nicholas Rigby opened to 10,000 from middle position and a player in the cutoff moved all in for 49,000. Rigby made the call to put his opponent at risk.
Calogero Morreale: A♠J♠
Nicholas Rigby: 9♥7♦
Rigby pulled ahead on the K♣9♠3♣ flop but the A♥ turn immediately flipped the situation in Morrealle's favor. The 3♠ river was clean for Morreale who collected a nice double up.
The loss hardly dented Rigby's colossal chip stack. He is still currently leading the field, sitting at more than 400 big blinds.
