Brammer Doubles Past the 100,000 Chip Barrier

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Christopher Brammer has just won a massive pot and currently sits with 116,000 chips and looks to be our chip leader.

The button opened to 3,200 and Brammer called in the big blind. The pair shared a {6-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop, but neither player seemed too interested in it because they both checked. The turn was the {8-Hearts}. Brammer led out for 5,500 and his opponent instantly raised to 13,000. Brammer took around 45 seconds to think before moving all-in.

"How much is it?" asked the button.

After much counting the all-in bet was deemed to be 54,700. A few moments later, the button called with his {J-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} and was drawing dead to Brammer's {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}. The meaningless river was the {2-Hearts} and Brammer sailed into the lead.

Brammer's fellow Brit Craig McCorkell is doing well, too. The WSOP bracelet winner is on 68,000 chips as the money bubble rapidly approaches.
