Brunson Doubles

Todd Brunson Doubles Up
Todd Brunson Doubles Up

We caught up with the action to see Todd Brunson all in with two players to act on a board of {Q-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts}. There was about 58,000 in the pot going to the flop and Brunson's all in was for 46,400. Brunson's first opponent tanked for about a minute before raising on top of the all in, thus pushing out the third opponent. The hands were turned over to see Brunson would need help on the two cards to come:

Brunson: {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Opponent: {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}

Brunson struck gold on the turn when the {K-Clubs} fell, completing his flush. The river brought the {8-Diamonds} and Brunson was able to double up, his club flush cracking his opponent's pocket aces.
