Tardif Darkens Brightly's Poker Dreams

Chad Holloway

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Twitch stud Patrick Tardif raised to 1,800 from early position and the player to his direct left called. When action reached Holly Brightly in the small blind she moved in for her last 3,900. That opened the door for Tardif to isolate, which is exactly what he did by jamming for approximately 24,000.

Tardif:
Brightly:

It was a flip with Brightly looking to hold. That proved easier said than done as the flop paired Tardif. The turn left Brightly looking for a nine on the river, but it wasn't in the cards as the bricked instead.

Patrick Tardif	33,000	-12,000
