Jean Brillant

Jean Brillant limped in the cutoff, and Michael Linster tossed in a call from the small blind. Troy Laypo checked his big blind option, and the dealer delivered the AJQ flop.

All three players checked to the 6 turn, where Linster led out for 200,000. Lypo folded, while Brillant made the call.

Linster checked the 5 river, and Brillant fired a bet of 350,000. Linster let his hand go, and Brillant showed K8 as he raked in the pot.
