Brewer Doubles Up, Takes Chip Lead
Level 21
: Blinds 50,000/1,000,000, 100,000 ante
Chris Brewer limped in from the button and Thomas Santerne raised to 350,000 from the big blind. Brewer made a call for a flop of 7♥9♣Q♥ to be dealt.
Santerne continued for 400,000 chips and another call followed from Brewer. Santerne then sized up to a bet of 1,000,000 chips on the 5♠ turn, but Brewer still stuck around with a call.
On the A♣ river, Santerne put 850,000 more chips in the pot, but this time Brewer went all in for 2,745,000.
A long tank followed from Santerne but eventually, he put in the call. Brewer showed 8♦6♠ for a straight and Santerne was forced to show his Q♣8♣ for an inferior pair of queens.
Brewer doubled up and ended up with roughly 2,500,000 more chips than his opponent.
