Event 2 Flight E: Phil Rigby Doubles Thru Asher Neaman

$400 Deep Stack No-Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)

Level 17:  3,000/6,000 with a 6,000 ante

Asher Neaman and Phil Rigby
Asher Neaman (foreground left) and Phil Rigby

Asher Neaman raised to 18,000 in middle position, Phil Rigby three-bet to 40,000 on the button, and Neaman called.

The flop was 8h3d2d, Neaman checked, Rigby bet 45,000, and Neaman called.

The turn was the Kh, Neaman moved all in with a covering stack, and Rigby called all in for 159,000 with KcKs for a set of kings. Neaman showed AcQs and was drawing dead.

The river was a meaningless 2c and Rigby doubled into the chip lead.

Phil Rigby  –  503,000  (84 bb)
Asher Neaman  –  360,000  (60 bb)
