Chad Brown Takes a Hit

Chad Brown
Chad Brown
After building his stack up past the 35,000 mark, Chad Brown just took a major hit. We caught up with the hand on the river, Brown leading out for 8,000 and his opponent quickly calling on a board of {A-Spades} {6-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} {8-Hearts}. Brown's {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} was no match for his opponent's {A-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds}-- Brown having caught trips on the turn while his opponent boated up.

Ever the professional, Brown offered a "nice hand" to his opponent, as nearly half his chips were shipped across the table.

Despite the hit, Brown is currently sitting on 20,000, still well above average.
