Briggs Chipping Up on the Bubble

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Action picked up on the turn in a hand between Merle Halcom on the button and Donald Briggs in the small blind.

With over 50,000 in the middle and the board reading 31097, Briggs check-called a bet of 26,000 from Halcom.

Both players checked on the 10 river, and Briggs tabled the winner with K10, besting the J10 of Halcom.
