Brookes Jams Up His Stack
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Over on table 16, a bigger pot emerged between Terry Brookes and his table neighbour. By the time the turn showed J♥4♠3♠3♥, there were more than 37,000 in the middle and Terry Brookes pushed all-in for 29,400. His neighbour tanked for a long time and eventually folded.
Brookes flashed pocket kings and then said "the way you played it preflop, I thought you have pocket aces. Do you know how often I have run kings into aces in this tournament?" he mentioned and then referred to a crazy four-way all-in near the end of Day 1a in The Hendon Mob Challenge to Maureen Bloechlinger, who was also involved.
Either way, there was no call and Brookes raked in the pot to leap well above the average.
