First Brutality

"So brutal," is the analysis from Ed Roger, after he finally pays off a river bet of 1,100 from Adam Mario with the board standing {7-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} {6-Spades} {Q-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} . Mario bet out and sat impassively, until flipping the {Q-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} when called and scooping the pot from the {7-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} of his young opponent.

"He's spiked the miracle on the turn and then I just called on the river," he recaps for the table, before picking up the 75 in blinds the next hand and adding them to his now 4,000 stack.
