A Day In A Level For Braga

Level 6 : 100/200, 25 ante

Patrik Braga has been on an emotional rollercoaster today. Starting the day as anyone else on the field he was slowly grinding his way through the field to try and secure a final table berth.

It all started when he brutalized an opponent with holding {j-Clubs}{j-Spades} on a {2-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flop, securing all of the players chips who held {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}. With that hand he was up over 40,000.

Then it seemed that Braga started to use his chips to take control of the table and soon had over 50,000. He was in high spirits.

Braga then had an opponent all-in, Braga holding {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} against {2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}, but the {6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} board meant Braga would take a hit with the rivered straight and drop below 30,000.

Reza Vakili then had his chips allin against Braga after Vakili flopped a set holding {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} on a {k-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{10-Clubs} flop. Braga held {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}, one card for the straight or one club. The {3-Clubs} on the turn gave Braga his flush but the {k-Spades} filled an ecstatic Vakili up and pushed Braga down to 9,000.

From 50,000 to 9,000 in one level. Ah, the day of a poker player.
