Brecher Sits on Aces
Level 22
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
David Peters raised to 23,000 to open the pot, and he found one customer as Steve Brecher came along with the call from the small blind.
The two men took a flop, and it check-checked to the turn. Peters took his cue to make a delayed continuation bet of 30,000, and Brecher quickly check-raised all in. Just as quickly, Peters called the 115,000, and Brecher was at risk as the cards were turned up.
Showdown
Brecher:
Peters:
Peters was drawing to an eight, ten, or queen, but the river was a blank.
That allows Brecher to earn the much-needed double up, pushing him back to 293,000.
