Wendy Freedman

In a battle of the blinds, Brett Brucaleri checked from the small blind with the board reading 8h6s3s5c. Wendy Freedman bet 9,500 from the big blind and he called to see the 6d river.

Brucaleri took a shot with a 15,000 bet and Freedman thought for a bit before sliding her stack in the middle. The shove was for 60,600 and Brucaleri went into a long thinking process.

After several minutes, Michael Newman called the clock from the other end of the table and Brucaleri was on a 30-second countdown. Before the count hit zero, Brucaleri announced “fold” and Freedman picked up the nice sized pot.

Wendy Freedman – 120,000 (120 bb)
Brett Brucaleri – 34,000 (34 bb)
