Todd Brunson Leaves The Room
We just saw him getting up from his chair and that made us take a look at Twitter. Todd Brunson has been one of the most outspoken poker players on Twitter and it didn't take long for him to Tweet out his exit hand.
"Fuck,out 61. Had a monster in a 3 way pot. My hand A36Q with nut clubs in big blind. Flop 4610 two clubs. Turn Q. River pairs 4. AAQ9 scoops"
This cash marks Brunson's second of the series after making it all the way to the final table in the $1,500 Seven Card Stud hi/lo tournament earlier in the series. He finished seventh in that tournament for $22,142 and adds another $4,164 to his winnings for the summer today.
