Brunner Bullied Out

Mike Brunner was the preflop aggressor for this hand, and he found calling action from an unknown player in the big blind. (We hope to have a full player list soon so we can dispatch with the "unknown player" moniker. In any event, it's all we got for now.)

The two men watched the flop come down {K-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {5-Diamonds}. Brunner continued out with a bet of 800, which his opponent check-called.

The turn was the {A-Diamonds}, and it drew another check from Mr. Big Blind. When Brunner fired another 1,600, though, he snuck in a check-raise to 5,000 straight. Brunner's cards quickly hit the muck, dropping him back to about 22,000.
