Gaddipati Brakes Breck
Level 8
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Viktor Blom opened to 8,500 from under the gun and Shrinag Gaddipati three-bet to 25,000 from the hijack. Brian Breck moved out 82,000 on the button and only Gaddipati called.
The 6♦J♠8♠ flop saw Gaddipati moved 235,000, covering Breck's 204,000 stack. Breck called and the players flipped their hands.
Brian Breck: A♣A♥7♣5♦
Shrinag Gaddipati: A♠Q♦9♠8♦
Breck had aces, but also flopped an open-ended striaght draw. Gaddipati was behind with a pair of eights and needed to pick up on the runout to secure the pot.
The 5♥ turn saw Gaddipati take a step closer to the striaght, and the 6♠ river brought him in the flush to take the pot and put a halt to Brecks run in the High Roller event.
