Van Huyssteen Crashes Out in Huge Pot Against Brooks
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
On the outer tables, a rather common button raise and big blind call led to the A♠8♥3♣ flop. What followed escalated quickly as Harold Brooks check-raised huge to 225,000 and Braam Van Huyssteen called.
Brooks then jammed the 2♦ turn for 310,000 and Van Huyssteen called after brief consideration with nearly the same stack size at his disposal.
Braam Van Huyssteen: A♥K♦ 
Harold Brooks: 3♠3♦
Despite having top pair and top kicker, Van Huyssteen was drawing dead to the 5♣ river. His stack was counted and Van Huyssteen had around 290,000 to bust in 29th place.
