Matthew Leecy has been grinded down by Clement Richez for most of their heads up battle but found a double and is back in contention.
The two players limped in and Richez checked the 8♥6♥3♣ flop. Leecy bet 40,000 and Richez check-raised to 125,000. Leecy put in another raised to 300,000 and Richez shoved to put Leecy at risk.
Leecy called with 9♠7♠ for 650,000 total and was hoping to hit his draw before Richez hit his A♥3♥. The 2♦ turn had Richez one card from victory but the 5♣ river gave Leecy the double.
Neither player reacted much as chips were exchanged and Leecy has new life with 1,300,000.
