Brewer Takes on the Chip Leader Twice
Level 7
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Chris Brewer raised to 2,600 in the hijack before Dumitru Pora three-bet to 10,000 on the button.
Brewer called and they went heads-up to the J♦5♠10♠ flop. Action was checked to the 7♠ turn, where Brewer led out for 15,000.
Pora called and the 3♦ fell on the river. Brewer then bet another 35,000 and Pora gave up his hand.
The next hand, Brewer again raised to 2,600 and Pora just called this time. The flop came 6♦3♣3♠ and Brewer continued for 6,000.
Pora called and the 5♣ fell on the turn. Brewer checked over to Pora, who bet 5,500.
Brewer called to the K♠ river, where both players quickly checked. Brewer showed A♠9♣, but Pora had A♦10♦ and his ten-kicker was enough to win the pot.
