Briski Hits the Rail After River Call

Matt Hansen

Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Action was heads up with what looked like 600,000 in the middle and a full board of 8♥8♠J♠6♣7♣ when Jason Koon slid out a stack of blue T-100,000 chips. Istvan Briski, in the next seat over, used a time bank before he committed the last of his chips.

Koon turned over 8♣3♣ for three eights and Briski showed the losing Q♥J♣ before he gathered his things to head for the door.

The GGPoker Ambassador is now hear the five million mark in chips as Day 1a enters its final stages.
