The flop came and Yamin quickly led for 1,000. Lolis folded right away, while Nguyen and “Texas Dolly” called.
When the hit on the turn, Yamin checked and Brunson finally began the aggression with a big hand, betting out 3,500. Nguyen refused to go away and called.
The river was a cruel card for the 10-time bracelet winner. Nguyen, who picked up a full house, checked. Brunson bet 12,000 and was check-raised to 30,000.
Brunson sniffed out the monster hand and correctly, and found a fold. Instead of losing most of his stack, Doyle still had over 70,000 chips.
