Brobyn Bounces Back Over Starting

Level 2 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Stephen Deutsch opened to 2,500 from under the gun, Joseph Galdieri three-bet to 27,000 and Robert Brobyn called, Deutsch called as well and the dealer spread out {j-Spades}{9-Spades}{2-Hearts} on the flop.

Brobyn moved all in, totaling 23,500 and Deutsch jammed over the top for 66,500 total. Galdieri folded {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} face up and the remaining two tabled their hands.

Robert Brobyn: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Stephen Deutsch: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

The {6-Diamonds} turn and {10-Hearts} river failed to improve Deutsch and Brobyn took down the pot with his set of nines, bringing him back into the six-figure chip count.
