Brenden, Klistoff Build a Massive Pot Without Pairs
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Monty Klistoff raised to 35,000 in early position before Harold Brenden three-bet to 75,000 in the hijack. Klistoff called to the J♣9♦8♠ flop.
Brenden then moved all in for 350,000, and Klistoff buried his face in his hands and went into the tank for a minute before calling.
Harold Brenden: A♠K♠ 
Monty Klistoff: 10♠6♠
Brenden was ahead with ace-high, while Klistoff had a straight draw. The 5♠ turn also gave both players a flush draw, but it was Brenden who hit a pair on the K♥ river to secure the double up.
At the same table, Mikiyo Aoki has built her stack up to 1,400,000.
