Klimczak Fades and Doubles
Level 20
An early position player had opened to 15,000 and Brett Richey called on the button. Faith Klimczak announced pot, a bet of 65,000, working off a short stack of about 105,000. Richey decided to call on the button and see a flop.
Klimczak slid her remaining stack of about 40,000 as the flop was coming out. That flop was 
. Richey decided to call.
Klimczak showed 
for an overpair. Richey showed his 
for top pair and lots of outs.
The turn 
was a bad one for Richey who lost many of his two pair outs with the flush draw now on board. The 
gave Klimczak the unneeded straight for the double and kept her tournament alive.
"Nice hand. Good raise, too," said a tablemate.
"I don't know how else to play that there," said Klimczak as she scooped the pot.
