Todd Brunson
After folding hand after hand for most of the day and hovering around the 20,000-30,000 mark, Todd Brunson finally found the spot he was looking for. Brunson doubled up twice in the span of three or four hands, both times with A-K. The first time, Brunson got all his chips in the middle with top pair against his opponents middle pair and backdoor straight draw. The second time, Brunson again flopped top pair with big slick and got it all in against the nut flush draw of his opponent. Needless to say, both hands missed and the once struggling Brunson is now commanding a stack of just over 140,000.
