This pot began with Gimbel opening to 25,000 under the gun, and Brown defended his big blind. The flop was AsJc2h. Brown checked, Gimbel continued for 20,000, and Brown called. The turn was the Kd, and both players checked. The river was the Kh, and Brown led for 25,000. Gimbel raised to 75,000, and Brown called.
