BenLudlow

Jordan Rich was sitting with about 400,000 before he was crippled and then eliminated in subsequent hands.

In the hand that crippled him, Rich raised it up in the small blind, and Mathieu Jacqmin re-raised in the big blind, Rich called.

The flop came down {j-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {4-Spades} Rich checked, Jacqmin bet out 30,000, Rich check-raised to 60,000, Jacqmin re-raised again to 90,000 and Rich called.

The turn came {10-Spades} Rich checked, Jacqmin bet, Rich check-raised again and Jacqmin called.

The river came {j-Diamonds} Rich bet, Jacqmin raised, and Rich made the call leaving him with only 50,000 more behind. Jacqmin showed {a-Hearts} {j-Spades} for a full house and all Rich could do was shake his head and muck.

The next hand, Rich was all in preflop and was called by Dale Eberle and Eugene Katchalov. The flop came down {2-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {4-Spades} Eberle bet out, Katchalov folded, and Eberle showed his {a-Hearts} {a-Spades} . Rich had {q-Spades} {8-Diamonds} and was in trouble. The turn {4-Diamonds} and river {k-Spades} were no help and he is our fifth place finisher. We are now four-handed with Mathieu Jacqmin in the chip lead.
