Consistent Brabin
![[user162117]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Luke Brabin is proving his consistency on the ANZPT once again with another deep run here in Melbourne. It’s his sixth career ANZPT cash which puts him in the top five for the number of cashes in ANZPT history alongside Tony Hachem (9), Ricky Kroesen (7), Danny Chevalier (6) and Jie Gao (6).
In a recent hand Brabin managed to escape a potential cooler of two big pocket pairs. We arrived to see a flop of 
and Joe Reina leading out for 20,000. The player on the button called, as did Brabin from the small blind as the 
hit the turn. Brabin checked and Reina bet 45,000. The button folded and Brabin gave it some thought before also releasing his pocket jacks face up. Reina reciprocated by revealing pocket queens for top set!
“Glad I didn’t hit my jack then!” laughed Brabin as he drops to 160,000 with Reina looking strong on 550,000.
