Richard Brown opened to 32,000, and received a call from Thomas Sanderson, before Michael Brisley put his micro stack of 4,000 into the middle.
Johnston Kitete-Kikumba was in the big blind, and he produced a four-bet to 115,000. Brown quickly moved all-in for 290,000, Sanderson folded, and Kitete-Kikumba snap-called with the covering stack.
Michael Brisley: K♠Q♥
Richard Brown: J♦J♣
Johnson Kitete-Kikumba: A♦A♥
Kitete-Kikumba had the goods, but a set was in store for Brown on the Q♦J♠6♦ flop, the 8♣ turn and 9♦ river confirming his double-up and Brisley’s exit.
Brown performed the exact same trick in the final hand of Day 1b, cracking David McConachie’s rockets with jacks in a three-way all-in.
Richard Brown – 700,000
Johnson Kitete-Kikumba – 1,025,000
Michael Brisley – 0
