Richards Makes the Wrong Call
Level 40
: Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante
Carson Richards raised to 4,200,000 from under the gun and the action folded to Christopher Castellan, who decided to defend his big blind.
They both checked through the Q♣4♠8♥ on the flop to the 2♦ on the turn. Castellan fired out a bet of 5,500,000 for Richards to call.
The river completed the board with the K♣ and Castellan continued with a bet of 15,000,000. Richards considered it for a bit and made the call, but mucked when Castellan revealed the K♦J♦ for top pair.
