Bramley’s Best Friend? A Hand Full of Diamonds

Joseph Berg

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Mark Bramley raised to 13,000 from the button before Marybeth Anderson three-bet to 42,000. Bramley then wagered enough to put Anderson all in. She made the call and was ahead.

Marybeth Anderson: A♣K♥ All in
Mark Bramley: A♦9♦

Things were looking good for Anderson on the K♣10♦6♣ flop, and Bramley even congratulated her on a nice hand. However, those congratulations came too soon, as the deck had other ideas. The K♦ turn and 4♦ river gave Bramley a flush, eliminating Anderson from Event #48 in brutal fashion.

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Anthony Tony Warren open-shoved for around 100,000 under the gun and got called by Brian Baron in middle position taking them to showdown.

Anthony Warren: A♠Q♦ All in
Brian Baron: K♥K♠

Baron's kings held on the board of 5♦10♠8♠8♦5♣ sending Warren to the rails. As Baron scooped the pot, the players were chatting encouraging Baron to think positive. He hasn't even fixed his massive chip stack when the next hand was dealt.

Michael Freeborg opened for 13,000 under the gun and Baron raised to 39,000 in middle position. Action folded to the big blind and with only 14,000 behind, Sepher Ebrahimi announced all-in.

Freeborg, announced all-in right after and to the surprise of all, Baron called.

Sepher Ebrahimi: A♦2♣ All in
Michael Freeborg: A♠K♠ All in
Brian Baron: K♥K♣

The moment the hands were tabled both Ebrahimi and Freeborg stood up shocked that Baron had kings again. Baron's kings held once again on the board Q♦2♥6♠7♥8♦, sending Ebrahimi and Freeborg to join Warren on the way to Paris to claim their payout.
