Brewer Nearly Doubles; Grafton Eliminated
Level 15
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Stephen Chidwick raised 50,000 on the button, and Chris Brewer defended the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of 5?4?4?, and Brewer check-raised the continuation bet of 30,000 to 90,000. Chidwick called.
The 2? fell on the turn, and Brewer continued for 105,000. Chidwick called once again.
When the J? landed on the river, Brewer pushed almost all of his chips across the line for a bet of 240,000, leaving just 15,000 behind. Chidwick went deep into the tank and eventually tossed in the call. Brewer rolled over 6?3? for a straight, and Chidwick mucked his hand.
At the other table, Sam Grafton was unfortunate to run his ace-jack into pocket aces preflop, and couldn't pull ahead as he was eliminated from the tourament.
