Brooks Recovers; Claims Chip Lead!

Eric Brooks has just taken back two very healthy pots against Fu Wong. In the first hand Wong appeared to be strong on a board of {A-Diamonds}

but Brooks wasn’t going anywhere, calling him down to take the pot holding ( {5-Hearts}

)

for two pair.

In the very next hand there was some interesting betting as both players tried to steal the pot away from their opponents.

On 4th street, Brooks bet, Wong raised, and Brooks called.
On 5th street, Wong bet, Brooks raised, and Wong called.
On 6th street, Brooks bet, Wong raised, and Brooks called.
Finally on 7th street, Wong fired out again and Brooks made the call.

Wong tapped the table as the boards were as follows:

Wong: {6-Spades}

Brooks: ( {A-Spades}

)

Amazingly with such action Brooks had called Wong down with just a pair of kings as Wong mucked his cards giving Brooks a monstrous pot and the chip lead!
