A Rigged Flop
In middle position, Jon Brody raised to 130,000, putting himself all in. Gerald Timmons made the call from the button, but Jesse Okonczak moved all in from the big blind. Timmons surrendered the chips he's already donated and ducked out of the way, and Brody was heads up with a chance to triple up.
Showdown
Brody:
Okonczak:
The flop was definitely "rigged" as someone at the table said. The dealer rolled out , giving Okonczak the set giving Brody a world of outs to improve. And improve he would.
Turn:
That flushes Brody's ace-queen, leaving him one card from getting back into contention. He needed to fade a board pair, and the river was clean and safe.
Brody is back to 460,000 with that pot, and he's still got some work to do. Okonczak now has to start making something happen as he's been reduced to 785,000.
