Leal Eliminates Brunson Just Before the Break
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
In a hand relayed to PokerNews by John Leal, the two players ended up all-in before the flop.
Todd Brunson: A?5?
John Leal: 9?9?
Leal was in good shape to score the elimination, but the 3?4?7? flop would give Brunson a double gut-shot to go along with an ace as cards needed to survive.
However, the 7? on the turn and the 7? on the river left Brunson with the second-best hand and Leal scooping a bounty worth $2,016.
