Bob Altman Bad Beat Bust Out Breaks Brunson Bond

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Todd Brunson has been moved to Miranda and joined some new tablemates, or as he tweeted in his inimitable style, “Got moved to a new room with plenty of fresh faces to incinerate.”

Brunson though is entertaining the table with a few of his vast wealth of poker stories and they are lapping it up. Bob Altman in particular seemed to have struck up a rapport with Brunson and was offering to buy him another beer when the waitress came round. The relationship would be short lived however.

There was an open to 1,600 and a raise to 4,000 before Altman jammed the rest of it for 13,600.

The original raiser folded but the other player called.

Altman had {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} and his opponent showed {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}.

The board ran out {10-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{10-Spades}.

An eventual full-house did for Altman.

“Pretty brutal runout.” Brunson observed who said he should have offered insurance on the hand. Altman vowed to return with a beer and took his beat well.
