Bromham Gets Cracked

Just minutes after busting an opponent with aces, Tony Bromham raised to 5,500 from middle position and behind him, Antonis Kambouris moved all in for 22,000 total. It folded over to George Palavos in the big blind and he announced that he was all in as well. Bromham quickly made the call and all the players stood up to watch the action unfold. Kambouris was the player with the least amount of chips on the hand and Palavos had the most.

Bromham: {A-Clubs} {A-Diamonds}
Kambouris: {10-Clubs} {10-Hearts}
Palavos: {A-Spades} {K-Diamonds}

The board ran out {Q-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} and just like that, the river jolted life back into Kambouris' tournament.

Bromham started the hand with around 34,000 chips and won a small side pot in order to stay in the tournament with 22,600 chips. Kambouris tripled up to 69,000.

"I've had aces five times in this tournament," mentioned Bromham to one of our reporters. "Nothing I can do there."
