3 3
. The K fell on the river and Azuran led out for 50,000 before Brereton moved all in, prompting Azuran to go into the tank for several minutes.
“You got a king?” asked Azuran. “You got the full house?”
“If you don’t have a king, you got to fold,” replied Brereton.
“You’re such a nice guy, I don’t think I have the heart to bust you,” said Azuran.
Azuran asked how much more the all in was and the dealer pulled the 50,000 into the middle and got a count on Brereton’s stack. After finding out it was 180,000 more, Azuran folds A 10 face up and Brereton mucked his hand.
“You aren’t going to show me?” asked Azuran.
“He doesn’t want to show you the bluff,” said another player at the table.
Brereton has 380,000 in chips and is nipping at Chino Rheem’s heels for the overall tournament chip lead.
