Brito Wins Huge All-In, Scores Early Knockout

Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante
Fernando Brito
Fernando Brito

Fernando Brito, who has reached four WSOP final tables, opened from under the gun to 800. The player to his immediate left called and the big blind called.

The flop came {9-Spades}{q-Hearts}{3-Spades} and Brito continued for 2,000. Both players made the call.

The turn brought the {8-Diamonds} and Brito fired off 5,000. The player in early position called and the big blind moved all in for his last 8,500. While Brito wanted to go all in over the top, he was unable to and was forced to call the 8,500 after a floor ruling. The early position player also called.

On the {a-Spades} river, Brito put his remaining 12,500 chips in the middle and got called.

Big Blind: {q-}{8-}
Fernando Brito: {a-}{q-}
Early Position: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}

Brito would river a better two pair than his big blind opponent, scoring an early elimination while the early position player was left with less than half of his starting stack.
