Brecher Lets One Go

We caught up with the action on a {A-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{5-Hearts} flop, where Steve Brecher was in a heads-up pot.

Brecher checked from the big blind and his opponent in the cutoff fired 3,400 into the middle. Brecher made the call to see a turn, which brought the {7-Spades}.

Brecher again checked and, undeterred, Brecher's opponent fired again for 8,800. Brecher tanked for about two minutes, but eventually opted to fold his hand.

The World Poker Tour champion, whose live-tournament winnings exceed, $2.4 million, is down to 42,000.
