Chris Brewer raised from the cutoff to 40,000, Arthur Conan reraised from the big blind to 130,000, and Brewer called.

The flop came 5c2s2d, Conan bet 75,000, and Brewer called.

The turn card double-paired the board with the 5d, Conan bet 90,000, and Brewer called.

The river card was the 9s, and Conan bet 250,000 with just 15,000 remaining behind. Brewer went into the tank, and after a while he started talking.

“This is a f******-up hand. I think you have aces. I don’t think you’d bluff we with just one ace.”

Brewer mused a bit longer before he folded, and Conan took the pot.

Arthur Conan  –  885,000  (44 bb)
Chris Brewer  –  1,950,000  (98 bb)

With five players remaining from a field of 42, the average chip stack is about 1.05 million (53 big blinds), and the next player to bust will earn $142,590.
