Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

A player in early position checked and called 20,000 from Stephen "Turtle" Brach on {9-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{8-Spades}. The turn was the {j-Spades} and the first player checked. Brach bet 65,000 and his opponent tanked awhile then shoved for about 55,000 more. Brach quickly flicked in a call and showed {q-Spades}{j-Diamonds}.

The other player showed {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} for the dead end of the straight and the river was the {5-Spades}.

"You're welcome," Brach said to the onlookers who had come to sweat the action.

The remaining players will bag their chips and come back for Day 2 on Monday.
