Broom Dented

Victor Torres
Victor Torres
James Broom just relayed a hand to us that saw his stack take a huge dent just prior to the break.

Broom's opponent was Victor Torres, who opened the action from under the gun. Broom reraised and Torres made the call. They saw an ace-high flop and Broom's continuation bet was once again called.

The turn was a repeat ace and both players checked. The river was a nine and Broom fired out again, representing a big hand and sending Torres into the tank. He eventually made the call and tabled {Q-?}{9-?} for a rivered pair, as Broom was disgusted to be caught with only {K-?}{5-?} for king-high.

Broom is down to 15,000 with Torres now in good shape with 55,000 chips.
