Brady's Check-Raise Doesn't Work

Matt Brady's been playing aggressive poker today. That's often a recipe for success but it can also backfire once in a while. Brady was successful by moving all in for about 180,000 after a player who was new to the table had reraised Brady preflop from 6,900 to 20,000. He was less successful a few hands later when he tried to check-raise a different player from 14,000 to 42,000 on a flop of {3-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {K-Spades}. That player responded by moving all in, drawing a snap-muck from Brady.

Brady now has about 170,000 chips. Incidentally, that's the same count as Shawn Glines, who seemed destined for the rail a few levels ago when he had just 17,000 chips.
