Todd Brunson

Todd Brunson just got moved to a table with Annie Duke, and it wasn't long before they got tangled up in a pot. With the {A-Diamonds}

On fourth street, Annie Duke bet out, and both opponents called. She bet again on fifth, but Brunson raised, having made his seven-five low. Seat four and Duke both called. When Annie hit her black six on sixth street, she again led out, and did so again on seventh. Brunson showed the winning hand though, a pair of nines with that seven-five low.
