Brooks Runs Second Nuts Into the Nuts

Chad Holloway

We came across this hand with a board reading {3-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} . From what we could piece together, it seemed the big blind had out out a bet, the amount of which we're not sure, and Brooks raised to 5,700. The big blind then three-bet to 18,500, about half of Brooks' stack.

The LAPC champ asked for a count on his opponent, as if he were pondering a raise. In the end, Brooks splashed in a call, only to shake his head when the cards were revealed.

Showdown
Brooks: {A-Spades} {5-Spades}
Opponent: {5-Clubs} {6-Clubs}
