Brooks Busts With End in Sight
Level 14
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Aleksandr Razinkov raised his small blind to 65,000, Patrick Brooks three-bet to 160,000 from the big blind, and Razinkov tossed in calling chips.
Brooks continued for 40,000 on the 3♥9♦A♥ flop, seeing Razinkov check-raise all in. Brooks quickly called, putting himself at risk for 380,000.
Patrick Brooks: A♦K♦
Aleksandr Razinkov: Q♥9♥
Brook's pair was in the lead, but Razinkov locked up the pot by making his flush on the 5♥ turn. The A♠ river only served to put some salt in Brooks' wound, as he exited two spots away from making it to Day 2.
