Brumpacheco Makes Full House
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Joseph Brumpacheco, in early position and Bruce Carter, the big blind, were all in and at risk against Yoshihiro Morita, the original raiser from under the gun.
The flop J♥2♣8♥ was already on the board when the chips went it, with Carter having 23,200, Brumpacheco 48,500.
Bruce Carter: QxQx
Joseph Brumpacheco: J♠J♦
Yoshihiro Morita: A♥2♥
Brumpacheco hit the flop to best Carter's queens with a set of jacks. Morita was drawing to a flush that might produce a double knockout.
The river and turn brought K♦K♠, giving Brumpacheco a full house and a new lease on his tournament life. Carter was knocked out.
