Brink Drives Troha to the Brink
Level 21
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 15,000 ante
Sean Troha had just won a sizeable hand against Joel Brink, but the afterglow of his victory did not last long. A series of raises led to the chips going to the middle when Troha, on the button, clashed with Brink in the small blind. Brink was at risk for 470,000.
Joel Brink: K♦K♣
Sean Troha: A♣K♥
Brink had Troha in rough shape, as only the ace was working for Troha when they went to a flop.
The 4♦8♠2♦ flop kept Brink well ahead as Troha was down to three outs twice.
Brink held on the 9♦ turn and the 3♠ river.
Troha would double up on the next hand to stay alive, but is still in dire straits.
