Brandt Takes it Down
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Thomas Brandt raised to 500 from under the gun, and was called by Mohamed Salem in the cutoff, Brian Seidel on the button, Dennis Backhaus in the small blind, and David Olshan in the big blind.
The flop came J?3?5? and it checked to Brandt who bet out 3,000. Salem, and Seidel folded, while Backhaus called. Olshan then folded to leave the two players heads up.
Both players checked after the 10? turn.
The river was the A? and Backhaus checked to Brandt, who bet out 3,000. Backhaus showed Jx before mucking his hand and giving the pot to Brandt.
