Bye, Bye, Brady

Matt Brady
Matt Brady

First into the pot, John Farmakoulas limped in from the cutoff seat. Matt Brady called the extra 5,000 from the small blind, and the big blind knocked the table to see a free flop.

It came {9-Spades} {7-Hearts} {9-Hearts}, and the blinds checked. When Farmakoulas continued out with a bet of 20,000, Brady check-raised it to 45,000. That folded the big blind, but Farmakoulas wasn't going anywhere. He three-bet it to 145,000, Brady moved all in for 293,000 total, and the call came within a few seconds. Brady was at risk as the cards were turned up:

Farmakoulas: {K-Hearts} {2-Hearts}
Brady: {9-Diamonds} {4-Clubs}

The turn {K-Clubs} opened up a couple more outs for Farmakoulas, but he would not need to go runner-runner kings. The river {5-Hearts} filled his flush, and Brady offered a quiet, "Good game," as he made his way to the payout desk.
