Brandvold Knows The Power Of The RPT Nuts
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Last year's player of the year Arlie Brandvold has taken his seat in the tournament and found himself in a pot early on from middle position.
Three players saw the turn on a board reading 10?9?J?6? which all checked to see the 8? river with 3,800 in the pot.
Action checks over to Brandvold who bet 1,000, getting only a call from the big blind.
Brandvold smiles and turns over 10?7? for a jack-high straight to beat his opponent's 9?8?.
"You know I had to play it," he said as he raked in the pot, holding the hand more commonly referred to RPT nuts. Ten-seven offsuit.
