Brown Down for the Count

Chad Brown showed up for his first-round Diamonds bracket match against EPT Monte Carlo champion Glen Chorny in a stylish leather fedora. The fedora didn't bring Brown any luck. He moved all in on the turn of a board that read {A-?} {6-?} {8-?} {9-?} and was called by Chorny. Brown's top pair, {A-?} {10-?} needed to improve against Chorny's two pair, {A-Hearts} {8-Hearts}. Brown would be sent home if any card other than a seven, a nine or a ten fell on the river. When the river came {5-Diamonds}, Chorny was victorious and Brown was off the set.
