Brzeski Spikes River to Stay Alive
Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Pawel Brzeski raised from under the gun to 400,000, and the table folded around to Preston McEwen in the big blind, who chose to shove. Brzeski called off for a total of 2,745,000 to be at risk.
Pawel Brzeski: Q♣Q♥
Preston McEwen: A♠K♦
The flop was a devastating one for Brzeski as McEwen outflopped him on the board of 4♥K♣3♣.
The 3♦ blank on the turn gave Brzeski nothing to work with, but lightning struck on the river when the Q♦ peeled off to give Brzeski a set of queens to double through McEwen.
