Big One for Brodie

Kim-Phong Duong raised from the cutoff (to 10,000), Richard Brodie three-bet from the button (to 15,000), and the table folded back to Dong who made the call.

The flop came {3-Spades}

. Duong checked, Brodie bet (5,000), and Duong called. The turn was the {K-Clubs}

, and both players checked.

The river brought the {K-Hearts}

. Duong checked, Brodie bet the 10,000, and Duong hesitated for a moment, then made the call.

Brodie showed {A-Spades}

, the best hand he could have without connecting with the board. Whatever Duong had, it wasn't as good, and he mucked. Duong slips to 20,000 on that hand.

Brodie just took another pot, and is now up past the quarter-million chip mark with 256,000.
