Britton Eliminated Near the Money

Barry Russell

Level 14 : Blinds 0/0, 4,000 ante

9♦7♣J♣Q♥5♦
A♠2♠10♦J♦3♠

Action was picked up as Simon Britton was all in from the big blind with A♣K♦J♥4♣, Brendan Taylor all in from the small blind with Q♣10♠8♠3♣ and Clement Meunier went deep into the tank from the cutoff but eventually called with 7♦7♥2♦2♥.

Britton needed a non-pairing club on the top board to make a flush, and either an ace or jack on the bottom board to stay alive. However, Meunier's set on the top and Taylor's made flush on the bottom held strong, bringing Britton’s run to an end.
