Roller Coaster for Brikis

Level 1 : 50/75, 0 ante

Josh Brikis, Darryl Fish, and a third player took a flop of {j-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{8-Diamonds}. The action checked to the player on the button, who tossed out 1,000, and only Brikis called.

Brikis check-called another 1,600 on the {3-Diamonds} turn, and an additional 3,000 on the {a-Diamonds} river, and the player showed {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} for a queen-high flush. Brikis mucked, dropping him down to 6,400 chips.

The Pittsburgh native doubled with pocket tens against an opponent's pocket eights not too long after, however, and is now back up to 13,000 chips.
