Brown Bows Out Again

Frank Visser

Level 8 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Philip Sternheimer limped in from early position, Artur Martirosian followed suit in middle position, and Tyler Brown raised to 28,000 on the button.

"The rare limp-fold," Sternheimer said as he mucked his cards. Martirosian called, however, and the 7♣4♥8♣ flop was dealt. Martirosian made a pot-sized bet, and Brown moved all in. Martirosian called, and the cards were tabled.

Tyler Brown: A♥J♦8♠7♥ All in
Artur Martirosian: 5♦5♣4♣3♦

Martirosian turned more outs on the 2♥, and the K♣ river completed his flush draw to send Brown out for a second time.
