Rigby Nearly 97% Favorite to Win 80,000-Chip Pot, Settles for Painful Chop

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

Bill Hansen tossed his last 300 chips into the middle from under the gun and Randy Levin bet from late position. Phil Rigby raised from the cutoff and Levin called.

The flop came {q-Spades}{j-Clubs}{k-Spades} and the two eventually were all in with nearly 80,000 chips (200 big blinds) in the middle with Levin at risk.

Bill Hansen: {10-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Randy Levin: {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Phil Rigby: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

While Hansen had flopped a straight for the few chips in the main pot, Rigby was lightyears ahead for the big sidepot and could only lose against running queens.

Despite having over 98% equity against Levin and being nearly a 97% favorite to win, a {10-Diamonds} rolled off on the turn and an {a-Spades} came on the river to put a straight on the board, resulting in max pain for Rigby and a second chance at life for Levin.

Hansen would be forced into the big blind the very next hand and was rivered to see him go bust with his first bullet of the day.
