Brandt Cracks Aces to Stay Alive

Katherine Brandt raised all in for 145,000 in early position, and was called by Brian Hastings in middle position, before Sungmin Cho three-bet to 400,000 in the hijack. Action folded back to Hastings who got out of the way to leave the players heads up.

Katherine Brandt: 8♠7♠ All in
Sungmin Cho: A♥A♣

Brandt would need lots of help to stay in the tournament, but when the board ran out K♥8♦7♦6♣8♣ she improved to a full house, eights full of sixes to more than triple up.
