River is Unkind to Chad Brown

"Downtown" Chad Brown
"Downtown" Chad Brown
We caught up to this hand on the flop. The board read {10-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {7-Spades} and there was just under 1,500 in the pot. Chad Brown was first to act against two opponents and pushed out a bet of 1,200 from middle position. Both of his opponents called and it was on to the turn.

The {4-Hearts} hit the turn and Brown fired again, this time 3,000. His middle position opponent folded but the player on the button called all in for his last 2,825. The players showed:

Brown: {Q-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}
Opponent: {9-Hearts} {8-Hearts}

Brown's queens were best but his opponent had plenty of outs including the {8-Spades} that hit the river. Brown doubled his opponent up, but is still a force with just over 22,000 chips.
