Feb 28, 2011

Nikolay Evdakov raises to 35,000 from middle position and Gregory Brooks calls from the big blind. 

The flop comes [QsJh10s], Brooks checks, Evdakov bets 70,000, and Brooks raises to 175,000. Evdakov immediately announces all-in and Brooks beats him into the pot with an all-in call of 969,000. 

Evdakov shows [As8s] for the nut-flush draw and Brooks shows [Ks9s] for a flopped straight. 

The turn is the [Ac], the river is the [8h], and Brooks fades the draw to win the pot and move over the 2 million chip mark. 

Gregory Brooks – 2,005,000 (125 BBs)
Nikolay Evdakov – 580,000 (36 BBs)
