Brinn Hooks Himself a Double

Chad Holloway

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

We happened upon the table with a player in the tank and 6,400 out in front of him. He was contemplating what to do as Cody Brinn was all in for 16,300. The two chatted a bit, and while the player didn't seem too excited about it, they made the call nonetheless.

Cody Brinn:
Opponent:

Brinn had the better pocket pair and he shipped the double after the board ran out a clean .
