Richez Doubles Through Torelli
Level 36
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Clement Richez raised from under the gun to 1,600,000, and Alec Torelli three-bet to 4,200,000 from the button. Action folded back around to Richez who moved all in for his remaining 13,900,000 stack.
Torelli asked for a count and commented to the table, "I don't think I am folding but I want to just check." After the dealer confirmed Richez stack, Torelli made the call.
Clement Richez: Q?Q?
Alec Torelli: K?J?
Richez was looking to hold and the A?A?4? flop kept him ahead. The 3? turn brought in the diamond flush draw for both, but Torelli would have been ahead with the king.
Richez held on the 3? river and saw the double up, moving Torelli out of the chip lead.
