Richey To The Rail, Hougaard Keeps Climbing
Level 19
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Brett Richey notched up his fifth World Series of Poker Main Event cash since 2006 during this tournament, but unfortunately for him he was just knocked out by Jesper Hougaard.
Richey finished 55th last year, his best result to date, and this year he will have to settle for a result in the low 300s.
The man who has two runner-up finished in pot-limit omaha events moved all in for 109,000 from middle position and Hougaard, the first player to win bracelets in both Las Vegas and Europe during the same year, called from the cutoff.
Hougaard: 
Richey: 
The board ran out 
and Richey hit the rail. Hougaard, who was down to not a whole lot earlier, now sits on a nice stack during his fourth Main Event cash since 2007.
