Brunson's Chips Get Chopped Up
Level 9
: Limits 3,000/6,000, 0 ante
Matthew Valeo raised from early position with Roland Israelashvili calling from the small blind and Todd Brunson defending his big blind.
The action checked to Valeo on the A♥6♣3♣ flop, and he bet. Israelashvili and Brunson called.
The 7♣ dropped on the turn, causing Israelashvili and Brunson to check-call another bet from Valeo.
When the 4♠ hit the river, Israelashvili led out and was called by Brunson and Valeo.
Israelashvili showed A♣K♥5♣5♦ for the nut flush with a six-five low. Bruson revealed Q♣J♣7♠3♠ for a smaller flush and a worse low. Valeo had A♦10♦2♥4♥ for a six-four low. This meant Israelashvili and Valeo would chop up Brunson's chips.
