Brzezinski Goes Runner-Runner for Chip Lead
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Tomasz Brzezinski raised it to 125,000 in the cutoff. Juan Pardo defended the big blind before the dealer fanned the 6♦J♦8♠ flop. Pardo saw Brzezinski continue for 110,000, which he check-called.
The Q♦ turn prompted Brzezinski to fire a bet of 350,000 after Pardo had checked. Pardo stuck around one more time, leading to the A♦ appearing on the river.
Brzezinski used one of his time banks before he settled on a pot-sized bet of 1,200,000. A puzzled Pardo spent two time extensions of his own, eventually deciding to call for slightly less than half his remaining chips.
Brzezinski tabled K♦10♠ for the rivered nuts, and Pardo added his K♠8♦ to the pile of mucked cards.
