Peter Donohoe opened to 20,000 from the hijack and James Brown called from the big blind. The flop came down {10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{5-Hearts}, Brown checked to Donohoe who then moved all in for around 120,000.

The turn fell the {8-Hearts} and Donohoe now had a bundle of cards that he could connect with. But the {8-Diamonds} on the river sealed the deal for Brown, who now has one of the bigger stacks in the tournament.
