Simon Brandstrom
Simon Brandstrom

Defending champion Simon Brandstrom was just eliminated from one of the main feature tables.

According to tablemate Jack Salter, Brandstrom shoved his last 325,000 from the button and Bruno Pega called in the big blind. Brandstrom had {a-}{9-} but ran into the queens of Pega.

Brandstrom hit trips on the {a-}{a-}{k-} flop, but Pega spiked a {q-} on the turn to make a full house. The river didn't improve Brandstrom and he was sent to the rail.

With already around 700,000 in the middle on a board of {8-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}, Torben Sorensen checked to Scott Margereson who used a time bank before firing out 580,000.

Sorensen quickly called as Margereson turned over {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for the nut flush. Sorensen flashed {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for a lower flush before mucking and surrendering the massive pot.

According to Margereson, he called a raise from Sorensen pre-flop and a bet on the flop, then Sorensen called when Margereson bet on the turn to create the enormous pile of chips in the middle.
