Heads Up Begins

In the first hand of heads up play, Matt Hawrilenko reached to raise from the small blind/button, and Josh Brikis folded before he grabbed any chips.

In the second hand, Josh Brikis raised before the flop and Hawrilenko called. The flop came {A-Diamonds}

. Hawrilenko checked, Brikis bet 450,000, and Hawrilenko called. The turn was the {7-Spades}

, and both checked. The river was the {9-Hearts}

. Hawrilenko checked, Brikis bet just 300,000, and Hawrilenko grabbed his water. After a few sips, he grabbed some chips, but then let it go.

In the third hand, Hawrilenko again raised from the button, and Brikis let it go.

The fourth hand... well, that was a doozy. Stay tuned.
