Brewer Busts the Main Event
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Picking up the action on a K♦9♦5♣9♣ turn, Chris Brewer checked from under the gun to Sam Sweilem in the hijack. Sweilem bet 80,000, which Brewer check-called.
Sweilem sized up to 225,000 on the 5♥ river. Brewer went deep into the tank, but ultimately check-called for the majority of his stack.
Sweilem showed 9♥6♥ for a full house, and Brewer flung his cards into the muck in frustration.'
On the next deal, it folded to Son Nguyen in the small blind. He open-jammed, and Brewer quickly called off his remaining 75,000.
Chris Brewer: K♠7♥
Son Nguyen: K♦3♣
Brewer had the dominating hand, but he would head to the exit anyway as the 5♠3♥9♥6♥2♣ runout paired up Nguyen's trey.
