Brunner Flexes Big Stack, Paulsen Takes a Hit

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

We caught current frontrunner Michael Brunner in action but it was not a particularly exciting one. Action folded around to Brunner on the button and he made it 2,000 to go with the big blind making the call.

The big blind checked the {a-Spades}{2-Clubs}{3-Clubs} over to Brunner, who fired for 5,500 and his opponent folded instantly and Brunner stacked up to 120,000.

We arrived at Kai Paulsen��s table just in time to see him re-raise an opponent to 5,000 from the big blind only to see his adversary move all-in for 16,900 in total.

Paulsen made the call with {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} but was trailing to his opponent��s {a-Hearts}{a-Spades} and stayed that way when the board ran out {k-Hearts}{8-Spades}{q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} to drop down to a measly 8,250 while his opponent stacked up to 34,000.
