Engel Climbing High

Level 14 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

We got to the table to find Ari Engel and an opponent looking at {J-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}. Engel tapped the table and passed action to his opponent. His opponent moved out 11,000 and action was back on Engel. He cut into his stack and came out with a raise to 28,300. Engel's opponent dropped in a call.

Engel rolled up {6-Clubs}{4-Spades} for trip sixes and his opponent let out a chuckle and slid his hands to the muck. Engel is now sporting roughly 240,000 in chips.

McBrayer Doubles Up Short Stack

Level 14 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

A short-stacked player got his last 29,100 all in against BJ McBrayer. McBrayer was behind going to the flop.

McBrayer: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Opponent: {Q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

The board ran out {Q-Spades}{K-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and McBrayer's opponents quads were more than enough to score a double up. This cut out enough of McBrayer's stack to bring him down to about 115,000.

Rios Climbing

Level 15 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Four players including Pedro Rios, Nancy Todd, and BJ McBrayer entered a raised pot and saw a flop of {K-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{8-Clubs} fall. The player in the big blind checked to Rios and he shot out a bet of 11,000. McBrayer folded and Todd followed suit. Eventually, the big blind also relented and Rios took down the pot.

Ace-High Is Good For Martin

Level 15 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Action folded around the player in the cutoff and he made it 4,200 to go. David Martin called out of the big blind and the flop brought {2-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{9-Clubs}. Martin checked and the raiser checked behind to see the {5-Spades} hit on fourth. Once again two hands tapped the table and the {2-Spades} paired the board on the river.

Action went check-check and Martin's opponent rolled up {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for king-high. Martin held {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for ace-high, though, and was able to pick up a small pot.

Brewington Rockets Into Chiplead

Level 15 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Action folded to the button who raised to 4,300. Carl Brewington called from the big blind and the dealer spread a flop of {7-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{9-Hearts}. Brewington checked and his opponent continued for 5,200.

"I'm all in," said Brewington.

His opponent looked a bit stunned by the bet. "Alright, I call," he replied, showing {A-Hearts}{j-Hearts} for top pair and the nut flush draw. He was behind, however, as Brewington flopped two pair with {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}.

Brewington's opponent had a lot of outs to improve but did not hit them as the turn and river came {5-Diamonds} and {K-Diamonds} respectively. Brewington's opponent, stunned, quickly exited the tournament area while Brewington stacked his newly earned chips. He's currently sitting on about 310,000. After the hand, Brewington wanted us to make sure that we posted that he's doing so successful because of his lucky wife.
