Brikis Back On Top

With about 450,000 already in the middle, the flop came {4-Spades}

. Faraz Jaka checked, Josh Brikis bet 280,000, and Jaka called. The turn was the {10-Clubs}

, and both checked.

The river brought the {2-Clubs}

. Both checked again. "Ace high," said Jaka. Brikis turned over {A-Spades}

and nudged his queen forward, a nonverbal query as to its relevance. It mattered, as Jaka mucked.

Brikis is back to 4.65 million, just a bit ahead of Hawrilenko's 4.5 million at the moment. Jaka is at 3.65 million, and after a couple more successful all-ins, Keeton has chipped up to 1.8 million.
