Brecher Busted

When we were doing a pass through the room, we noticed the seat formerly occupied by Steve Brecher was empty. We talked with Stephen Kats, who was seated at the table, and he was kind enough to inform us of Brecher's demise.

According to Kats, Brecher raised to 550 under the gun and the next player to act made it 1,400 to go. Action folded all the way back around to Brecher, and he promptly moved all in for about 6,000. His opponent made the call and it was off to the races.

Showdown
Brecher: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-}{K-}

Brecher was ahead, but not after the {A-}{Q-}{X} flop. Both the turn and river blanked, and Brecher became an early Day 1a casualty. We're guessing he'll be back in action tomorrow.
