Brandt Takes the Lead
Level 2
: 300/600, 75 ante
Joao Mathias "joaoMathias" Baumgarten opened to 1,200 from early position and got calls from "jonjaven" in the hijack and Patrice "pAtcAsh83" Brandt in the cutoff. Blaz "Scarmak3r" Zerjav made it 8,700 from the button and all three players called.
The action checked to Brandt and he bet a modest 6,000. Zerjav and Baumgarten folded before "jonjaven" jacked it up to 19,200. Brandt made the call and the 
landed on the turn/
"jonjaven" fired out for 49,600 before they called a jam by Brandt to 88,644.
Patrice "pAtcAsh83" Brandt: 
"jonjaven": 
Brandt had a set but had to avoid clubs on the river to win the hand. Instead of a club the 
landed on the river to give Brandt a double up and the chip lead at least for now.
