Richards Makes a Straight

John Richards opened 36,000 in early position, and Scott Ball called next to act before Matthew Stone and Abdul Almagableh came along in the blinds.

The action checked to the A♦Q♣2♠3♦K♠ river, where the action checked once again to Richards who put out a bet of 55,000. Only Ball made the call.

Richards whipped over Q♠J♦10♥4♠ for a straight and Ball mucked his hand.
