McBrayer Has the Chips Now

[user66118]

Level 22 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

We mistakenly reported B.J. McBrayer as having 605,000 chips at the dinner break, which was about twice as much as he actually had. Perhaps we were just foreshadowing this hand.

McBrayer opened the pot to 22,000, and Jared Ingles three-bet to 51,000 two seats over. When it came back to McBrayer, he shoved all in for 308,000 total, and Ingles tanked and called for most of his own chips as well. With McBrayer at risk, the cards were on their backs.

Showdown
McBrayer: {A-Spades} {Q-Hearts}
Ingles: {10-Spades} {10-Clubs}

The {4-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {2-Clubs} flop was a miss for McBrayer, but it did open up four more outs to the winning wheel. The turn {J-Clubs} was a blank, but the river {A-Diamonds} was just what he was looking for. The ace brings him back from the dead with a double up to 638,000, knocking Ingles all the way down to just about 50,000.
