Braukmann Survives on the River
Level 13
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Rick Lehman raised to 10,000 in middle position and Penn Swindle called in the hijack. Matt Braukmann then moved all in for 45,000 in the big blind, and only Lehman called.
Matt Braukmann: 10♠10♥
Rick Lehman: A♣Q♠
Lehman took the lead on the 7♣9♦Q♦ flop with top pair, while the turn was the 8♠. The river brought the J♦, and Braukmann improved to a straight to win the pot and double up.
"That works," he said as he raked in the pot.
