Brooks Busts Language to Conclude Day 1a
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Harold Brooks raised to 18,000 from under the gun and he then called the shove by Mariette Language for just 56,000 from the very next seat.
Mariette Language: 5♣5♠ 
Harold Brooks: J♠9♥
The Q♥9♦2♥ flop instantly improved Brooks to the superior pair and nothing changed with the A♠ turn. Down to the last two outs, Language could not get there with the J♣ river and departed in 11th place.
