Brill Gets Runnered; Here Come The Brazillions
Veronica Brill and Luis Dornerles had a raising war on a flop that read 10♥9♠3♣ and it appeared both players were tied when their hands were put in play.
Veronica Brill: A♦10♦
Luis Dornerles: A♣10♣
Brill had well over 300,000 as her effective stack and it appeared it was a lock for a chop, but when the K♣ came on the turn Dorneles picked up the nut flush draw. When the the 8♣ peeled the river, Brill could be heard saying, "Oh my god...", as she was forced to accept her payout slip.
At an outer table, Alcioni Pollermann had a shorter stack at risk on a board that read J♦10♦5♥.
Opponent: K♦Q♦
Alcioni Pollermann: Q♥10♥
The board was as nice as his opponent could hope for without making a pair, as they had the open-ended royal flush draw but the J♠ and 10♣ left Pollermann with checkmark and he soared well over a million chips.
