Stout Sends One Home

At blinds of 3,000/6,000, under the gun opened to 13,000. CSOP founder Matt Stout three-bet from middle position to 38,000 with J♠J♦. Connor Richards called all in for his last 18,000 holding A♠8♦. The original raiser folded, and the cards were on their backs with Richards at risk.

A flop of J♣2♣Q♥ gave Stout a set of jacks and left Richards drawing nearly dead. The 3♠ turn and 5♣ river brought no miracles for Richards, and he was eliminated. Stout dragged the pot and stacked up 350,000 for a nice stack at this point in the tournament.
