Brooks On Broadway

We caught a heads up flop between Gregory Brooks and Steven Merrifield that read {a-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}. Merrifield checked, and Brooks bet out 28,000. Merrifield called, then checked again when the {j-Clubs} hit the turn. This time, Brooks bet out 66,000, and Merrifield tanked for a minute before calling again. Merrifield checked for a third time when the {4-Spades} hit the river, and Brooks methodically put together a bet of 141,000, which was about half of Merrifield's stack. He tanked for a couple minute, before sliding in the call. Brooks showed {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{5-Spades} for a broadway straight, and Merrifield flashed the {10-Clubs}{10-Spades} before mucking.
