Hudson Turns the Nuts to Double Off Brandt
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Thomas Brandt bet 2,000 from the cutoff on a flop of K♠4♥3♣ and Derek Hudson called in the big blind.
Brandt bet another 2,000 on the 2♦ turn, and this time Hudson came back with a raise to 7,000. Brandt called, and the 10♦ fell on the river.
Hudson then moved all in for 18,000, and Brandt called with 9♦9♣. Hudson, though, showed 6♥5♥ for the nut straight to win the pot and double up.
At another table, Jeffrey Dolezal was all in with a flush draw against Charles Furey's set of sevens, but he couldn't improve as Furey took down the massive pot worth more than 100,000. Dolezal quickly headed to the registration desk for a fresh starting stack.
