Richards Backs into Broadway

Tyler Foran

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

The cutoff raised 1,500 and the button called before JR Richards three-bet to 6,300 in the small blind. Matthew Nowicki called in the big blind and both the cutoff and button got out of the way.

The dealer fanned a flop of J?8?8? and Richards continued for 9,500. Nowicki called.

The 10? landed on the turn and Richards checked, and Nowicki did the same.

When the K? completed the board, Richards paused for a moment and asked, "What you got young man?"

Nowicki stayed quiet with a puzzled look on his face as the action wasn't complete yet. Richards eventually dropped a green chip in the middle for a bet of 25,000 and Nowicki made the call.

Richards tabled A?Q? for running Broadway and Nowicki looked sick as he held onto his cards for a few seconds and stared at the board. Nowicki showed his K?10? before the dealer sent the pot Richards way.
