Brewer, Badziakouski Clash

Herbie Teope

Level 4 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Chris Brewer and WSOP bracelet winner Mikita Badziakouski were involved in a growing pot after the flop, which showed J?7?J? on the board.

The pot had more than 100,000 in it and it would grow when 3? appeared.

Badziakouski, who was in the cutoff, bet 60,000 into Brewer, who was on the button. Brewer took his time before making the call.

Fireworks ensued on the river, where the dealer placed 7?. Badziakouski led out with 110,000, and Brewer once again took a few moments before announcing a raise to 500,000, which immediately got his opponent’s attention.

Badziakouski removed his sunglasses and leaned back in his chair. He then leaned forward to study the board while shuffling chips in his right hand. He eventually folded as the pot was pushed to Brewer.
