Browne Bluffs the River

Level 35 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Paul Browne raised to 1,200,000 with {k-Spades}{4-Spades} and Helmut Phung defended with {k-Clubs}{7-Spades}.

Both players checked the {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop as the {j-Spades} fell on the turn. Phung checked again, then called with a flush draw when Browne bet 1,100,000.

The {3-Spades} river missed Phung and he checked again. Browne fired out another 2,500,000 and Phung quickly mucked.
