Chad Brown has just taken an early hit to his stack after a confrontation with Benoit Gariepy. The player in the cutoff position limped and Gariepy raised it up to 225 from the button. Brown, in the small blind made the call, as did the cutoff player.

The three players saw a flop of {10-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and the action was checked to Gariepy who led out for 350. Brown then check-raised making it 1,000 to go. The cutoff folded and Gariepy thought for a few moments before making the call.

The turn was a repeat {9-Spades} and Brown fired out a 2,000 chip bet. Gariepy quickly raised the action once again, making it 5,000 to go as the pot suddenly started to balloon. Brown called fairly quickly as the two players went to the river.

The {8-Spades} on the river slowed the players down as both checked and flipped their cards. Brown showed {A-Clubs}{K-Spades} however his two pair wasn't enough as Gariepy revealed {A-Spades}{10-Hearts} for top two pair.

Brown is now down to around 9,500 chips.
