Brooks Books Biggest Pot Of Tournament

Greg Brooks

About 20 minutes ago, Blaz Svara had 400,000, and was the chip leader of the tournament. Now, he is out, and Gregory Brooks inherited most of his stack. We caught the big hand on the turn, with the board reading {9-Spades}{3-Clubs}{4-Spades}{8-Spades}. Brooks put out a bet of 43,000, and Svara announced pot. There was a lengthy discussion at the table as to whether Svara was all in, and it was ultimately determined that he was. Once Brooks found out that Svara was all in, he made the call, and saw that he had Svara drawing dead.

Brooks: {k-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Svara: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{x-}

Svara had the ace of spades, but no other spade, and Brook's second nut flush was good enough to take the pot. The meaningless river was the {j-Clubs}, and now Brooks is the overwhelming chip leader with 750,000.
