Brinn Hooks Himself a Double

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Cody Brinn
Cody Brinn

We happened upon the table with a player in the tank and 6,400 out in front of him. He was contemplating what to do as Cody Brinn was all in for 16,300. The two chatted a bit, and while the player didn't seem too excited about it, they made the call nonetheless.

Cody Brinn: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Opponent: {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}

Brinn had the better pocket pair and he shipped the double after the board ran out a clean {k-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{9-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}.

MSPT Golden Gates Champ Takes It on the Turn

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante
Max Young
Max Young

A player raised to 1,600 from early position and Max Young, who in 2018 won the MSPT Golden Gates for $97,810, defended his big blind to see a {4-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop.

Young checked, the original raiser continued for 1,500, and Young woke up with a check-raise to 4,500.

The original raiser opted to call and then watched Young fire out 7,500 on the {3-Spades} turn. That did the trick as Young's opponent released.

Wiepert Stays Alive

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

Brian Wiepert got his last 6,400 all in preflop and found himself in need of some improvement.

Brian Wiepert: {k-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}

Wiepert was behind but not after the {k-Spades}{9-Hearts}{8-Clubs} flop delivered him two pair. Neither the {q-Clubs} turn nor {6-Clubs} river hurt Wiepert and he shipped the double.
