Brutal Flop Sends Klein to the Rail
Level 20
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
We're not sure of the amounts, but Geffrey Klein opened the pot and was soon met with a three-bet by Cory Brinkman. Klein responded by moving all in and Brinkman made the call, creating a nearly 400K pot.
Showdown
Brinkman | |

Brinkman's face said it all. He knew he was in about the worst possible spot, but his face managed to light up like a Christmas tree when the flop fell to give him two pair and the lead. Klein couldn't believe it and both players were up out of their seats. The turn gave Klein some chop outs to a three, but the river was no help; in fact, it improved Brinkman to a full house.
With that, Brinkman chipped up to 500,000 while Klein made his way to the payout desk in 54th place.
