Broers Survives His Shove
Several hands occurred prior to the shove. Renato Puertas García raised from early position to 115,000, and William Patterson three-bet to 400,000 from the cutoff. Garcia thought for a while and then folded 9♠9♣ face up. Patterson, one of the chip leaders, showed A♣K♦.
On the other hand, Timothy Frasure moved all in from early position for 600,000, and everyone folded. Frasure stated, "I had the same hand as you," speaking to Patterson, and flipped over A♠K♠
Larry Broers shoved in the following hand; Gary Benson raised from the button to 60,000, and Broers three-bet all in for 180,000. Benson called.
Larry Broers: Q♠10♥
Gary Benson: 9♥9♦
The board had many ups and downs with 3♥9♠8♠10♠J♦, as Benson hit a set, then Broers hit a straight on the river.
One of the players offered some sage advice: "Don't get it in ahead."
