Josh Brikis is Taking Over the Six-Max Event, Busting Two Players in One Orbit

Josh Brikis has quietly built a massive chip stack, avoiding major confrontations while pushing his opponents around throughout this second day of play.

In the last few minutes, however, he has put his big stack to use in a big way, eliminating Day 1 chip leader Andrew Kelsall and experienced grinder Ronit Chamani in a single orbit.

First, Kelsall made his stand with {5-}{5-} but he ran smack into the Brik Wall, as Brikis held {K-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}. The flop further confirmed that it just might be Brikis' day, coming {10-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{9-Hearts} to end any chance at a comeback for Kelsall - who entered the day as the chip leader.

Just a few hands later, it was Chamani's turn to slide her stack over to Brikis, after she fell victim to runner-runner quads of all things. Brikis and Chamani both checked the {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{6-Spades} flop and the {3-Hearts} dropped in on the turn. Brikis flatted a turn bet and the river card came {3-Diamonds}, making a four in hand appear to be the immortal nuts.

Chamani fired away - why wouldn't she, holding {k-}{4-} - but Brikis decided to move all-in over the top. The snap-call by Chamani was greeted with a rude awakening, as Brikis tabled the {3-Clubs}{3-Spades} for quads, sinking Chamani's boat and soaring to nearly 2 million chips to open up a huge lead on the field.
