Brodsky Loses Against a Set, Then Triples Up With One
Joseph Brodsky was left only 150,000 after losing a hand against Abdulrahim Amer, where Amer raised preflop and bet every street on 9?10?2?4?J?. When Brodsky called the last bet on the river, he was shown the bad news, Amer flipped over 2?2? for bottom set.
Less than an orbit later, action started with George Chen��s raise on the hijack, which was three-bet by Nickolas Herbrig and four bet by Brodsky. Chen put in a five-bet, Herbrig and Brodsky called, after which Brodsky was already all in.
The runout was J?3?7?8?2?. Chen and Herbrig put in bets and built a side pot with bets on every street, before all three players flipped over their hands.
Brodsky was way ahead with 8?8? for a set and won the main pot, while Chen picked up the substantial side pot with Q?Q?, as Herbrig showed the A?10? for a busted flush draw.
