Brammer Finds a Date With an Eight to Crack Kashani's Kings
Level 33
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Christopher Brammer raised to 500,000 from under the gun and Arian Kashani on the button three-bet to 1,275,000. When the action got back to Brammer, he shoved for 4,750,000, and Kashani snap-called.
Christopher Brammer: 8♠8♣ 
Arian Kashani: K♥K♦
Brammer was a grave danger of missing out on the podium places, but a flop of 7♠A♦8♥ changed everything as he flopped a set of eights. A 5♣ on the changed nothing, and neither did the 4♠ river, which meant Brammer doubled to over 10,000,000.
