Brewer Doubles Up on First Hand of the Day
Level 14
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Chris Brewer raised to 80,000 from the cutoff and Ioannis Angelou-Konstas called from the button. Quan Zhou then three-bet jammed from the small blind, covering all remaining players.
Brewer made the call and Angelou-Konstas folded, leading to a heads up showdown.
Chris Brewer: K♠K♣
Quan Zhou: 9♥9♣
Brewer flopped a set on K♥10♦7♣ to extend his already big lead to a massive one. The turn came the 4♣, and that left Zhou drawing dead. His lower set on the 9♠ river did not matter, and Brewer was off to an amazing start early on Day 2.
