Bradshaw did not Travel 5,000 Miles to Fold

Roxanne Johnson

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Patrick Blackwell raised to 80,000 in the hijack, Andrew Bradshaw flat called from the button, and Martin Nielsen three-bet to 280,000 from the small blind. Blackwell folded, and Bradshaw stood up and announced, "All in" for 525,000 effective. Nielson made the call and saw the bad news.

Martin Nielsen: 8♣8♦ All in
Andrew Bradshaw: 10♥10♠

The board ran out with 7♥J♦A♠6♣7♣, and a pair of tens was good enough for Bradshaw to do a happy dance in true Bradshaw form.

Bradshaw declared, "I did not travel 5,000 miles to fold". Bradshaw had a deep finish in last year's senior event.
