brandyn trenholm

Level 8 : 300/600, 600 ante

The board showed and there was 26,000 in the pot. Michael Wang moved all in for about 38,000, more than enough to cover Faraz Jaka's 31,300.

Jaka thought for well over a minute but in the end, he called for his tournament life and Wang tabled for a missed flush. Jaka showed for a straight and more than enough to pull in the pot from Wang for a complete double.
