Bleznick Coolers Brooks To Take The Chip Lead

Jared Bleznick and Gregory Brooks just got involved in a huge hand that saw Bleznick double through Brooks to take the chip lead. The flop came out {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{3-Spades}, and Brooks bet out 18,000. Bleznick came back with a raise to 41,000, and Brooks opted to call. The turn brought the {4-Hearts}, and Brooks checked. Bleznick asked how big the pot was , 149,000, and then bet that much. After about 30 seconds of thinking, Brooks announced pot, and Bleznick called immediately. It seemed obvious that we had a set over set situation, and thats exactly what it was.

Bleznick: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Brooks: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{5-Spades}

Brooks would need to hit a one outer on the river, but he wasn't able to, as it came the {7-Diamonds}, giving Bleznick the double up and making him the biggest stack in the room.
