Richez Doubles Through Torelli
Level 36
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Clement Richez raised from under the gun to 1,600,000, and Alec Torelli three-bet to 4,200,000 from the button. Action folded back around to Richez who moved all in for his remaining 13,900,000 stack.
Torelli asked for a count and commented to the table, "I don't think I am folding but I want to just check." After the dealer confirmed Richez stack, Torelli made the call.
Clement Richez: Q♥Q♦
Alec Torelli: K♦J♠
Richez was looking to hold and the A♦A♥4♦ flop kept him ahead. The 3♦ turn brought in the diamond flush draw for both, but Torelli would have been ahead with the king.
Richez held on the 3♠ river and saw the double up, moving Torelli out of the chip lead.
