Brindle's Stack Soars

Level 22
Joe Brindle
Joe Brindle

Limit Hold’em

Matthew Grapenthien raised first to act and was called by Thomas Argyros in the hijack, Robert Lauria on the button, and Joe Brindle in the big blind for a four-way pot.

Action checked to Lauria, who bet on the 7J9 flop. Brindle raised, both Grapenthien and Argyros cold called, Lauria made it three bets to go, and everyone called.

The 7 paired the board on the turn and it was again checked to Lauria, who bet. Brindle again raised, Grapenthien and Argyros folded, and Lauria called.

Brindle led out for a bet on the 10 river and showed 99 for a full house after Lauria called all in.

"Wow, how bad do I run in Limit Hold'em?" Lauria said as he turned over J9 for two pair before exiting the tournament area.
