Dao Doubles Brooks

[user66118]

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

We picked up the action heads up on a {J-Spades} {4-Clubs} {9-Spades} flop. Gregory Brooks was under the gun, and he put out a bet of 4,200. Miller Dao raised to 8,400 in position, Brooks reraised all in for just less than 30,000 total, and Dao made the call for about half his stack.

Showdown
Brooks: {A-Spades} {4-Spades}
Dao: {K-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}

Brooks had bottom pair and the flush draw, and he didn't have to wait long to catch up to Dao. The turn {8-Spades} made Brooks' flush, and the river {5-Spades} was meaningless.
