Brar and Nam Trade Blows
Level 34
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Gursimran Brar increased his stack when he fired two barrels on the button against Hyunsik Nam in the big blind when the latter check-folded the A♦K♥8♠2♠ turn to a bet of 180,000.
Brar then opened to 80,000 in the cutoff and Nam three-bet to 240,000 in the small blind. The call of Brar led to the A♥4♦2♦ flop on which Nam continued for 350,000 to force a fold of the grinning Brar.
"Will I hit my set on the river?" he said and added that it was his favourite hand, indicating that was pocket nines.
Another player demanded "show the bluff" but Brar was certain Nam had it, the South Korean rolled over the A♦K♠ indeed.
