Brauer Busts After Clash With Courtney
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
With two spades until the turn and the K♠ making an appearance on the river, Stephen Courtney check-called for 50,000 out of the big blind. His opponent was Ryan Brauer, who flipped over the A♠10♣ for a bluff with the nut flush blocker.
Courtney showed 8♠4♠ and Brauer sighed in agony.
He was then forced all-in two hands later with Rajeev Poonhath in the small blind and Alvin Pillay coming along. They checked the K♠J♥8♣ flop, invested the minimum on the 7♣ turn and checked the 5♦ river.
Poonhath showed J♦3♠, Brauer flashed the Q♣ first and peeled the 2♠ only to bust.
In the meanwhile, Colin Horgan has been terrorising table 15 to nearly close the gap to chip leader Matthew Whitelaw.
