Brown Doubles Through Braden

Bill Braden led for 500,000 into Chad Brown and Iverson Snuffer on a {4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop. Brown pushed all in for 1,550,000 more. Snuffer folded, and Braden called.

"Let's hold up," he said, confident he was ahead. He was right.

Braden: {9-Spades}{4-Spades}
Brown: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

The turn was a {6-Hearts}, turning some of Brown's outs into chop cards. The river, though, was the {k-Spades} saving his tournament life.

"I didn't hold up," Braden said.

Blinds are now 150,000-300,000 with an ante of 40,000.
