With around 200,000 in the pot and a flop of {3-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}, Peters Brooks check-called a bet of 75,000 from James Russell, which led to the {6-Hearts} on the turn. This time Brooks decided to turn around and bet out 145,000. Russell though for a moment before announcing a raise, at which point he began sliding out chips. It was a string bet, so the floor ruled it would count as a min-raise to 290,000.

Not deterred, Brooks moved all in for around 200K more.

"Alright," Russell said. "I'll call you." He then turned up {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}, which was aheads of the {K-Hearts}{9-Hearts} of Brooks. The latter needed either a heart or nine on the river to stay alive, but the {5-Clubs} was not it. A disappointed Brooks made his way to the payout desk to collect $11,622.
