Faraz Jaka made a rather standard raise to 100,000 and Keeton quickly shoved his remaining 580,000 into the middle. Jaka insta-called.
Keeton:
Jaka:
The flop came giving Keeton some extra chop outs. "Four, four, four!" was shouted from the rail while we waited for the turn to be dealt and indeed it was the , the river fell the and Keeton doubles to a bit over 1,300,000.
The blinds and Brikis quickly folded, then Hawrilenko softly said he was all in. Jaka immediately patted the table as he folded his cards.
That post moves Hawrilenko close the chip lead, though he, Brikis, and Jaka are all very close to the 3.5 million chip mark.
Kay showed and Hawrilenko tabled . The board ran out .
"Nothing I could do, I call and see the flop we get it in anyways" -Kay on his way out.
Hawrilenko now moves up to over 2,700,000.
So said someone from the rail just a while ago while Josh Brikis had momentarily stood up from the table. "What?" he responded.
"You're wearing your best sweatpants," came the reply.
Brikis looked down and smiled. Indeed, he is leisurely-attired today.
Just now we saw a hand in which Matt Waxman limped from the button, Brikis also limped from the hijack seat, and it folded around to Sean Keeton who checked from the big blind.
The flop came . Keeton checked, Waxman bet 80,000, then Brikis raised to 225,000, forcing both to fold.
Brikis has lost the chip lead to Faraz Jaka who has crossed 4 million, but he's still sitting comfortably with a stack of 3.78 million.
Brikis sitting on 3,600,000 in chips.
In the first, Kay raised to 100,000 from under the gun, Hawrilenko reraised to 275,000, it folded back around and Kay called. The flop came . Kay bet 280,000 -- not quite half the pot -- and Hawrilenko let it go.
Soon after, Josh Brikis opened with a raise to 105,000 from the cutoff, then Kay made it 305,000 from the button. Hawrilenko announced he was all in for his entire stack of approximately 1.1 million. It folded back around, and this time Kay was the one letting it go.
Both Kay and Hawrilenko are at about 1.4 million now.
