Hanks Puts His Chips to Work
Level 12
: 3,500/7,000, 7,000 ante
Jake Schindler opened to 17,000 from the cutoff and Brent Hanks moved all in for 75,000 on the button. Justin Bonomo flatted from the small blind and Schindler got out of the way. Hanks tabled 
but ran into the 
of Bonomo.
The flop fell 
and things looked grim for Hanks. The 
hit the turn and Hanks picked up a flush draw to go with his one overcard. The river brought the 
and Hanks made his flush to double up.
Just a few hands later, Hanks opened to 18,000 from under the gun and Bonomo called from the cutoff. Keith Tilston three-bet to 70,000 out of the small blind and Hanks four-bet shoved all in for 181,000. Both Bonomo and Tilston mucked their cards as Hanks picked up some more chips.
