Adam Leaves Courtney on Fumes; Bad Beats Brauer
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
With the turn showing Q♠7♥4♠8♠, Rayhaan Adam check-jammed for 780,000 into a bet of 125,000 by Courtney. The latter asked for a count and then called with the marginally covering stack.
Rayhaan Adam: A♠8♦ 
Stephen Courtney: K♠K♥
Adam needed an ace, eight or spade and got there with the 9♠ river to score a huge double.
He then opened to 45,000 and Ryan Brauer jammed for the last 95,000 with the words "let's gamble." Adam called.
Ryan Brauer: A♠Q♦
Rayhaan Adam: A♥9♣
The 9♦5♠3♦A♦6♥ board knocked out Brauer short of the money.
