Brauer Busts After Clash With Courtney
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
With two spades until the turn and the K? making an appearance on the river, Stephen Courtney check-called for 50,000 out of the big blind. His opponent was Ryan Brauer, who flipped over the A?10? for a bluff with the nut flush blocker.
Courtney showed 8?4? and Brauer sighed in agony.
He was then forced all-in two hands later with Rajeev Poonhath in the small blind and Alvin Pillay coming along. They checked the K?J?8? flop, invested the minimum on the 7? turn and checked the 5? river.
Poonhath showed J?3?, Brauer flashed the Q? first and peeled the 2? only to bust.
In the meanwhile, Colin Horgan has been terrorising table 15 to nearly close the gap to chip leader Matthew Whitelaw.
