Brar Pulls Ahead Right Away
Level 38
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Gursimran Brar raised to 250,000 and Hyunsik Nam called to a flop of A♣Q♣2♣ on which Nam check-called for 100,000. Nam check-raised the A♠ turn from 150,000 to 400,000 and Brar reraised to 650,000 for his opponent to call.
After the J♥ river they checked and Nam tabled Q♦6♥, Brar chopped with the Q♠8♦ and instantly said he knew Nam had a queen.
"I put you on clubs," Nam replied as they chopped the pot.
Nam then made it 250,000 to go and Brar called. The 8♣7♠6♠ flop was checked to the 4♣ turn, Brar bet 350,000 and Nam folded with exposing the A♥.
Brar's next raise to 250,000 was three-bet to 750,000 by Nam and the chip leader came along to the A♠8♣5♣ flop. Nam checked, Brar bet 500,000 and stole the pot.
