Robert Brown has been among the big stacks for most of the day and now he owns the biggest. He was heads-up against an opponent with the flop reading and moved all in for ~120,000.

His was in bad shape against kings-up but had a flush draw/gutshot draw to stay in the game. The turn filled his straight and he dodged a boat on the river to move up to 325,000.
