Gordon Finds Runner-Runner to Stun Brandt
Level 35
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Lawrence Brandt opened the action with a raise to 1,250,000 from the hijack, and Callum Gordon defended his big blind.
The flop came 2♠10♠3♣, and Gordon checked it over. Brandt fired a pot-sized bet, only for Gordon to shove all in. Brandt quickly made the call.
Callum Gordon: K♠Q♦Q♠J♥
Lawrence Brandt: A♣A♥J♦7♦
Brandt held the lead with aces, but the deck had other plans. The 9♣ hit the turn, and the 8♦ landed on the river, giving Gordon a stunning runner-runner straight to snatch the pot and double up. Brandt could only shake his head in disbelief.
