The Life of Brian

Shamus

Is pretty good at the moment.

Brian Meinders just doubled up again, this time through Alexander Wilson. In this one, Meinders raised to 25,000 from under the gun, Wilson reraised to 70,000 from the small blind, Meinders pushed all in, and Wilson called.

Wilson turned over {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

{9-Diamonds}

and Meinders {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

. Again, Meinders was taking overcards against a pocket pair, and again the flop was kind to him -- {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

{8-Spades}

{J-Spades}

-- although Wilson had straight outs now, too, to come back. The turn was the {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

and the river the {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

, and Meinders is back up to 490,000. Wilson slips to 245,000.
