Brikis Stacking 'Em Early

One of our PokerNews bloggers is Josh Brikis and he's out in the field today. Brikis came a bit late to the event, but was welcomed with a nice gift in the form of an opponent's entire stack just shortly after he sat down.

According to Brikis, he raised under the gun with two sixes and the big blind made the call. After a flop of {A-}{9-}{6-}, the big blind bet, Brikis raised, the big blind reraised, Brikis jammed and the big blind called. What did he have? Well, the old {A-}{9-} for top two pair against the set of sixes for Brikis. The board bricked out from there and Brikis won the pot, moving his stack to a nice 40,000 in chips.
