Duong Flops Two Pair, Eliminates Brooks
Level 28
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Robert Brooks open-shoved in late position for a little more than 1,000,000. Action folded to the big blind Thanh Ha Duong, who made the call.
Robert Brooks: K♥J♦
Thanh Ha Duong: A♠J♥
The flop 8♥A♣J♠ immediately placed Brooks in jeopardy when it gave Duong top two pair. The K♠ gave Brooks the lower two pair but it would take a miracle if he was to stay on in the tournament.
That miracle didn't happen when the 2♥ came on the river. Brooks' tournament life ended instantly, and he left the floor as Duong scooped the pot.
