Brereton Bounds Up

Luke Brereton has been making his way up the chip count page throughout Day 2c, and just now won a small pot to join Randy Haddox in the 400,000-chip club.

A player in middle position raised, Brereton called from the big blind, and the flop came {K-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}. Both players checked. The turn brought the {Q-Spades} and a bet of 4,000 from Brereton. His opponent thought a few seconds, then called.

The river brought the {K-Diamonds} and a quick bet of 7,800 from Brereton. His opponent thought for more than a minute, then finally called. Brereton turned over {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs} for a Broadway straight, and his opponent mucked.
