Richards Doubles in the First Hand of Heads-Up Play
Niveau 46
: Blinds 4,000,000/80,000,000, 80,000,000 ante
Malcolm Trayner raised the button to 17,000,000 from the button and Carson Richards shoved for 154,000,000. Trayner snap-called.
Carson Richards: 7♠6♠ 
Malcolm Trayner: A♠K♣
In the very first hand of heads-up play, both player's stacks found their way into the middle of the table and gave Trayner a shot at capturing his first bracelet.
The flop of 8♠A♣J♠ couldn't have been more dramatical as Richards picked up a flush draw and Trayner flopped top pair.
Richards added more outs on the 5♦ turn as he picked up an open-ended straight draw, but it was the flush draw that came to fruition as the 2♠ gave Richards the pot and a path back into the contest.
