Brunner Flexes Big Stack, Paulsen Takes a Hit
Level 6
: 250/500, 75 ante
We caught current frontrunner Michael Brunner in action but it was not a particularly exciting one. Action folded around to Brunner on the button and he made it 2,000 to go with the big blind making the call.
The big blind checked the 
over to Brunner, who fired for 5,500 and his opponent folded instantly and Brunner stacked up to 120,000.
We arrived at Kai Paulsen’s table just in time to see him re-raise an opponent to 5,000 from the big blind only to see his adversary move all-in for 16,900 in total.
Paulsen made the call with 
but was trailing to his opponent’s 
and stayed that way when the board ran out 
to drop down to a measly 8,250 while his opponent stacked up to 34,000.
