Brecher Binks an Ace

Steve Brecher opened the action by raising to 20,000 preflop. His opponent made the call and they saw a flop of {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}. Brecher continued out for 55,000 and his opponent raised to 125,000. Brecher wasn't deterred by this bet, however, and instead decided to move all in. His opponent quickly made the call.

Brecher: {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}
Opponent: {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}

Brecher hit one of his many outs when fourth street came {A-Clubs}. He kept the lead when the {3-Hearts} rivered and sent his opponent to the rail, boosting his stack to 700,000 in the process.
