Nortje Doubles Wright; Busts Russon and Brauer
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Marko Nortje jammed the small blind with the A♦2♠ and was called by Mark Wright in the big blind with the Q♦Q♠. The K♠10♥4♠5♠8♦ board kept Wright in contention.
Rowan Russon then jammed a short stack with the A♣2♠ and Nortje came along on the button with the Q♥9♥. Daniel Brauer in the big blind went with the K♠J♥ to flop top pair on J♠10♥8♦, yet was drawing very thin already. The Q♠ turn opened some outs but the 4♥ river was a brick to send two players out.
