Hanks is The Comeback Kid

Brent Hanks was about to head for the payout desk after losing a big pot to Ryan Welch, and getting down to just a a few antes right after that. Right after losing against Welch Hanks was in the big blind and he got the player in the small blind all-in with {A-}{6-} against {J-}{8-}. Hanks had him covered by just 600 chips and when his opponent hit a flush Hanks was all but heading out the door.

The very next hand he was all-in with {K-}{8-} against {A-}{K-} and after the board brought a four-card straight the pot got chopped. Hanks was up to 2,500 and got his money in against three other players with pocket treys. Hanks ended up against a player with {8-}{8-} and luckily rivered a set giving him some room to breath. The very next hand he looked down on two kings and managed to double up to 28,000 when his hand held up against pocket fives. Hanks is being cheerful as always and with this stack he has a good shot at making a deep run!
