Event 3: Rittmeyer Doubles

$500 + $60 Big Stack NLH (Re-Entry)

Three players saw a flop of Q T 8 rainbow. 

David Rittmeyer (Towson, MD) was in the big blind and checked.

David Rittmeyer

The player in seat 8 bet 9k. 

The player in seat 2 (button) shoved. 

David called all-in for less.

Seat 8 gave it some thought, then mucked (he later said he had KJ for the open-ended draw).

The other two tabled their hands:

Seat 2 - KQ for top pair
David - Q8 for two pair

Turn was a 9, which would have completed the straight for seat 8.

River was a 4 and David more than doubled up to ~75k.

David is a familiar face in the tournaments here at Borgata.  He has a couple of final tables with his best finish being a 3rd place in the 2011 Summer Poker Open $400 NLH, good for $6,340.
