Shot of Brandejs
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
Jan Brandejs might have been pleased with runner-runner trips after trying to bet his Seat 10 opponent off a flop with queen high, but it turned out to be costly for him.
It was probably looking bad anyhow as he bet 1,250 on a flop only to be raised by the button to 2,700. Back to Brandejs, who made it 6,400. This bet gave his opponent some pause for thought, but he called after a while.
Both players checked the turn, and on the river, Brandejs led out 9,225. This was called so fast the felt nearly caught fire and his was found to be lagging behind the nut flush - . The winner of the hand was disappointed he'd been slowed down by the pairing board, but was in all probability not getting any more out of it.
