Brink of a Double but a Blade to the Heart
Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Two healthy stacks had a preflop raising war, putting Frederik Brink at risk and in a classic race against Renji Mao.
Frederik Brink: Q?Q?
Renji Mao: A?K?
The flop was in favor of Brink, as the dealer peeled, J?10?3? off the deck. The turn was even better for Brink, as the 9? made it so a king on the river was no good, making it that much more painful when the A? peeled. Brink said nothing, but frustration was written on his face as he waited to receive his payout slip.
Mao recently won his first gold bracelet in the $800 NLH Deepstack and will be one to watch now that he is amongst the chip leaders.
