Brooks Doubles Before the Break
Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
KM opened to 150,000 with the K?Q? and Warren Zackey flat-called in the small blind with the A?Q?. The J?10?4? flop was checked before the 9? turn saw Zackey check and subsequently call a bet of 150,000.
Both checked the J? on the river and KM dragged in another pot.
Shortly after, Mariette Language raised the button and called the shove by Harold Brooks for 705,000 in the big blind.
Harold Brooks: 8?8? 
Mariette Language: K?Q?
The board ran out 7?4?2?7?7? and Brooks doubled.
Shortly after, an opening raise to 125,000 by Gerrit van der Spoel with the 8?8? earned two callers. Patrice Ah-Nien three-bet big to 700,000 with the A?K? and won the last hand before the first scheduled 15-minute break.
