Pechie Losing Serious Ground

BenLudlow

Justin Pechie was up to 1,600,000 at one point in the last 20 minutes, but he has now lost a big chunk of that, and the chip lead. One of the hands where he gave alot of his chips to Jordan Rich went as follows.

Pechie raised it up in the cutoff, and Rich re-raised on the button. Pechie called and the two saw a flop of {10-Spades} {3-Clubs} {2-Clubs} Pechie checked it, Rich bet, Pechie check-raised and Rich called. The turn came {j-Diamonds} Pechie bet, Rich raised and Pechie called. The river came {2-Spades} and Pechie checked one last time, Rich bet one last time, and Pechie called one last time.

Rich showed {a-Diamonds} {a-Hearts} and Pechie threw his hand into the muck. Pechie is down to around 980,000 after the hand and the other chip counts are as follows.
