Cheung Bangs on Brannan Again
Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
James Cheung and Frank Brannan have battled a couple of times today, with Cheung getting the best of it in a big pot earlier.
This time we grab the action with Brannan making a pot-sized raise of 324,000 chips on a full board reading Q♥7♦6♦10♥4♠.
Cheung spent a long time considering his options, stacking and restacking his chips, until finally he made the call.
"You got it," Brannan said, before even seeing the cards.
Brannan showed K♦10♠9♥5♥ for just a pair of tens. Cheung had 10♦8♦6♣5♣ for an eight-high straight.
It was a crushing blow to Brannan, who had only 72,000 chips after the hand.
