Tough Times for Broad

Level 20 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Kenneth Broad

When Daniel Vasser moved all in for 48,000, only Kenneth Broad called, putting Vasser at risk.

Daniel Vasser: KQ All in
Kenneth Broad: 55

The board was good for Broad up to the J642 turn, but the Q river saw Vasser snatch the lead and secure a double up.

As the pot was being pushed in the opposite direction, Broad shared that not long before, he had got pocket aces in preflop versus ace-king, but had been rivered by a Broadway straight, a pot that would have left him with roughly 1,500,000 in chips.
