John Monnette {x-}{x-} / {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} / {x-}

Adam Friedman brought it in with the {9-Spades} showing, Monnette completed, and Brunson raised. Only Monnette called. Monnette then check-called bets from Brunson on every street, and both players checked on seventh. Brunson rolled over {j-Spades}{7-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} for jacks and deuces, Monnette mucked, and Brunson pulled in the pot.

John Monnette completed and Todd Brunson tossed out a raise. Monnette flung a call to the middle and check-called bets on fourth and fifth.

Monnette opted to bet out on sixth, only to find Brunson push out a raise. Monnette called and then check-called yet another bet on seventh.

Brunson triumphantly tabled {J-Spades}{7-Clubs}{K-Hearts} for two pair: jacks and sevens. Monnette, however, showed {Q-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} for a higher two pair and was able to scoop the pot from Brunson

Give and Take Between Friedman and Brunson

Posted 2012-06-09 GMT-6 • Level 25: 25,000-50,000, 5,000 ante

Todd Brunson was the bring in and Adam Friedman completed. Brunson called and continued to call bets on both fourth and fifth street. On sixth, Brunson took to betting and was Friedman called. Both players checked seventh and Friedman turned up {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{8-Spades} to couple with the {10-Clubs} he had showing, giving him trip tens and enough to scoop the pot.

The next hand Brunson completed only to find Friedman raise. Brunson called that and once again bets on fourth and fifth. Brunson led out on sixth and seventh and Friedman mucked when Brunson showed a pair of eights for the high and an eighty-six for the low.

Brunson: {x-}{x-} / {3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{3-Spades}{6-Clubs} / {x-}

John Monnette completed and Todd Brunson pushed out a raise. Monnette called and the two players were off to fourth street.

Brunson bet on fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh, receiving a call from Monnette on each street. Brunson tabled {K-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{q-Spades} for kings up and Monnette shook his head and threw his hand toward the muck. Scooping this pot brings Brunson over the million chip mark.
