Cool Hand, Bro-dy
Level 27
: 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
In middle position, Mike Minetti (or "Waldo" as his mother apparently calls him -- hi mom!) opened to 75,000. Around in the small blind, Jon Brody took a minute to consider before making the call for a significant chunk of his stack.
Heads up, the flop fell , and Brody moved all in for 308,000. Minetti quickly called, and the cards were turned up. It was Brody's in the lead for now, but Minetti's had half the deck for outs.
The turn was a scary red card but safe for Brody, and the river was as blank as it gets. The nines hold to double Brody to 828,000, knocking Minetti back to 990,000 in the process.
