Stokkan Shoots Another One Down
Level 22
: 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Preben Stokkan raised to 125,000 from the middle position and Lawrence Brandt shoved in the big blind. Stokkan asked for a count and the dealer confirmed Brandt had 470,000 behind. Stokkan tanked, checked the amount several times, counted out calling chips, and then made the call.
Lawrence Brandt: 
Preben Stokkan: 
The flop came 
for Brandt to hit a pair of jacks but Stokkan also picked up a gutshot to a straight for some extra outs.
The turn was the 
which didn't change things but the 
on the river gave Stokkan the higher pair. Brandt hit the table with his fist when he saw the last card fall, sighed, and then made his way out of the tournament area.
