Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Broesder Can't Beat Old Mouse

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Heads-up on a board of 105K3, Roger Old Mouse bet 10,000 from the big blind and Shane Broesder called in the hijack.

The river was the A and Old Mouse checked to Broesder, who bet 15,000. Old Mouse snap-called with 76 for a flush, and Broesder mucked.

"Thought I could beat the Old Mouse. Walked right into that one," Broesder said.
