The chip stack builders
Eric Brand took a big pot off Michael Gossayn when his A Q connected with the flop and left Gossayn’s Snowmen looking a little thin.
Brand also forced Ryan Brauer to re-buy when Brauer’s 6-high just couldn’t catch up to his A J. This was the second time tonight that Brauer shipped with a 6-high. Feel free to send your questions regarding this strategy to “Ask the Commentators.” There is probably a very good explanation…
Robert Kay has been sitting quietly, an antithesis to his usual aggressive attitude but the results of his play seem to be the same. He is building a stack! A table away, Alexi Hadjidakis is also quietly building his stack.
Stanley Topol’s good work has been decimated in one hand by Nicolas Zakhem. Both players had A K but Zakhem managed to river a flush to take the hand.
Six minutes of play remain in tonight’s session.
