Brinkmann's Main Event Comes to an End

Tim Baker

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Martin Brinkmann got his short stack of around 200,000 into the middle preflop, with Navot Golan trying to bust him.

Martin Brinkmann: 10♥10♦ All in
Navot Golan: Q♦Q♠

Brinkmann was crushed by Golan's higher pocket pair and needed some help on the runout to survive.

It didn't come on the 7♦Q♥8♦ flop as Golan improved to top set. Brinkmann was drawing dead after the 3♣ turn as the J♣ river was just a necessity.
