Don't Call It a Comeback
On Day 3, Brett Richey was knocked down to just 4,000 in chips, which was less than all big blinds and big betting limits at the time. After going on break, he fought back over time and found himself able to climb back over 200,00 in chips.
He first hit a full house in a Seven Card Stud pot against Patrik Antonius and David Oppenheim before doubling up the next hand with an ace-high flush versus David Chiu, who started the hand with split queens. He then doubled up to over 200,000 in a Pot-Limit Omaha hand against Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi.
Going into the money, Richey is the shortest stack with 190,000 in chips. He's cashed in this event before, placing 13th in 2010 for $113,030. He's locked up himself another $91,549 and will be looking to run it up in order to make the final table.
