Galen Hall opened from the hijack and John Brooks defended his big blind.
On the 10♦7♥5♠ flop, Brooks checked to Hall who continued for 7,000 before Brooks check-raised to 20,000, and Hall called.
Brooks then led the 8♣ turn for 35,000 and Hall stuck around once more with a call.
On the 6♣ river, Brooks opted to check as Hall toook some time to think before he did the same.
John Brooks: K♦10♣
Galen Hall: 8♦6♦
