Josh Brikis is Having a Hard Time With a Huge Stack Pushing Him Around
Josh Brikis is Having a Hard Time With a Huge Stack Pushing Him Around

Matt Affleck has been moving all in on nearly every hand heads-up, trying to simply bludgeon a micro-stacked Josh Brikis into submission.

Brikis knows every deal will be played for it all, and lately he has been having a bit of masochistic fun sweating his hole cards on each deal.

On a recent hand, Affleck was all in yet again to put Brikis to the test, and he squeezed his cards slowly in anticipation: {2-}{8-}. The rags were held up with disdain before being sailed into the muck.

"Ahh..." cried Affleck at the fold. "How can you not just call there? These would've been perfect for the winner's photo..."

Affleck tabled his {A-Clubs}{a-Hearts} regretfully, not wanting to release the monster that may have won it all.

That winner's photo will have to wait - for now at least - as Brikis scored two doubles in a row to move back to nearly 1 million, attempting to mount what would be a truly miraculous comeback bid.
