Tom Braband got the action started by opening in middle position with the button and the small blind both calling.

The flop was {8-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}. Action was checked to the button who bet with the small blind and calling and Braband raising to 4,000. The button went all in over top, making it 5,200 for the small blind to continue. The player in the small blind decided to fold and we were heads-up to the turn.

Braband: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Button: {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}

Things were looking good for Braband, as it looked like he would soon be sending an opponent to the rail. However, when the {5-Spades} came on the turn, the button picked up a straight draw that he hit with the {9-Hearts} on the river.

After doubling up his opponent, Braband is down to 19,000.
