Brunson Correctly Makes Difficult Fold
In a hand from the PokerGo livestream, Chau Nguyen limped for 500 under the gun with 
and Doyle Brunson just called with 
. Eliran Yamin called from the small blind with 
and then David Lolis checked 
out of the big blind.
The flop came 
and Yamin quickly led for 1,000. Lolis folded right away, while Nguyen and “Texas Dolly” called.
When the 
hit on the turn, Yamin checked and Brunson finally began the aggression with a big hand, betting out 3,500. Nguyen refused to go away and called.
The river 
was a cruel card for the 10-time bracelet winner. Nguyen, who picked up a full house, checked. Brunson bet 12,000 and was check-raised to 30,000.
Brunson sniffed out the monster hand and correctly, and found a fold. Instead of losing most of his stack, Doyle still had over 70,000 chips.
