Brooks Nails Three-Way Flop
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Jedd Kossew opened to 175,000 with the A♠J♣ and Gerrit van der Spoel three-bet to 400,000 with 4♥4♣ in the small blind. The shove by Kossew followed and van der Spoel opted to preserve his tournament life.
Harold Brooks then made it 200,000 to go with the A♦J♠ and van der Spoel called on the button with A♣2♣, as did Mariette Language in the big blind with K♦10♣. Three ways to the J♦J♥6♥ flop, the action checked all around to the 3♣ turn. Language was the one betting as she made it 225,000 to go.
Brooks called and van der Spoel got out of the way.
That brought the 5♣ on the river and Language checked, Brooks bet 565,000 and won the pot uncontested to also show his cards after.
