Brian Brown Eliminated in 18th Place ($2,240)

Level 20
: Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Smriti Dewari raised to 60,000 from under the gun, and when it folded to Brian Brown he defended his big blind.
The flop came 8?Q?A? and Brown check-called a bet of 85,000 from Dewari.
After the 9? on the turn, Brown checked to Dewari, who bet to put Brown all in for his stack of 350,000, which he snap called.
Brian Brown: A?A?
Smriti Dewari: A?10?
Brown set the perfect trap with his pocket aces, looking poised to double up. However, the river had other plans, bringing the J? and giving Dewari a straight to crack Brown’s set of aces, eliminating him in brutal fashion.
