Set for Brinkenhoff

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

There were roughly 8,000 chips in the middle on a flop of Q74, Tomoya Kakihara bet 3,200 from the button, Michael Brinkenhoff called in the small blind.

Action went check-check when the J hit the turn, and Brinkenhoff decided to lead for 10,000 on the 3 river. Kakihara called but got shown 44, and Brinkenhoff scooped the pot.
