Brian Breck has been making waves in the mixed game scene as of recent, with multiple deep runs at the last PGT Mixed Games series, and several appearances in the $10,000 Championship Events this WSOP. He is an action player who always seems to be in a hand when you walk by his table.

David Walsh: XxXx / 5x9x10xAx
Tsz Liu: XxXx / JxQx8x - folded on fifth street

Breck bet on fifth, Walsh check-called, and Liu check-folded.

On sixth, Breck folded to a bet after double-pairing, revealing that he made a full house, prompting an obligatory "Wrong game" comment from a tablemate.

"I can't check it back," Roberts admitted with his three pair.
