Brewer Nearly Doubles; Grafton Eliminated
Level 15
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Stephen Chidwick raised 50,000 on the button, and Chris Brewer defended the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of 5♥4♦4♣, and Brewer check-raised the continuation bet of 30,000 to 90,000. Chidwick called.
The 2♦ fell on the turn, and Brewer continued for 105,000. Chidwick called once again.
When the J♣ landed on the river, Brewer pushed almost all of his chips across the line for a bet of 240,000, leaving just 15,000 behind. Chidwick went deep into the tank and eventually tossed in the call. Brewer rolled over 6♣3♣ for a straight, and Chidwick mucked his hand.
At the other table, Sam Grafton was unfortunate to run his ace-jack into pocket aces preflop, and couldn't pull ahead as he was eliminated from the tourament.
