Claudio Elizalde

Level 6 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Tyler Brown, who recently won his second bracelet, was seen being eliminated when his set and redraw were thrwarted by the made straight of Martin Dam. Coincidentally, Brown got the exact same seat draw when he entered again, getting right back into the mix.

Tyler Brown bet 20,000 on a flop of 3♠10♥2♣ and Stephen Chidwick made the call.

The turn peeled off the 9♥ and both players checked.

Chidwick led the 6♦ river for 25,000 and after some deliberation, Brown made it 85,000. Chidwick pushed his hand in the muck, relinquishing the pot.

Martin Dam	420,000 105,000	105,000
Tyler Brown	370,000 256,000	256,000
