Fitzgerald Claims Huge Pot After Another Battle With Brandt

AaronMcBride

Level 11 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Thomas Fitzgerald and Patrice Brandt were involved in another big pot together, but it was Fitzgerald who got the better of his opponent this time around.

The board fell when Fitzgerald saw his three-bet on the turn called.

Brandt then decided to lead the river for 56,000. Fitzgerald again three-bet, this time to 184,000. Brandt asked for a count and went into the tank. As the clocked ticked over into the final level of the day, Brandt had been thinking about his move for almost eight minutes before another player called the clock on him.

During his final minute of thought before his hand would be automatically mucked he recounted his chips but eventually decided to fold and Fitzgerald won back most of the chips he had lost to Brandt earlier on.
