Checking in on the Champ, Day 2

[user75032]

Eric Brooks is still plugging away in today's field. He recently had to surrender a pot on the river. He had led out on sixth street with (X-X) / {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{7-Clubs}

{7-Hearts}

{6-Spades}

, a bet that his opponent raised with (X-X) / {2-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

{10-Diamonds}

{3-Clubs}

{4-Hearts}

. Brooks called on sixth but check-folded to a bet on the river.

"Ace-clubs five-clubs," Brooks' opponent said, flashing those cards in the hole for a five-high straight. "It was that or rolled up." Brooks just nodded. He's on a roughly average stack, with about 60,000 in chips.
