Brummelhuis Pummels the Opposition
Michiel Brummelhuis opened to 2,500 in early position and the gentleman next to him, Ebbe Christiansen, flat-called. It then folded around to Carlos Branco in the small blind; down to what looked like around 20,000, he pushed all in. Brummelhuis re-shoved for an amount that honestly looks like half the chips in the tournament, Christiansen sighed and folded, and the biggest and smallest stacks at the table went to showdown.
Branco: :::As :::Qs
Brummelhuis: :::Ks :::Kh
Board: :::Kd :::4d :::8d :::Kc :::3h
Well, that was pretty decisive. Brummelhuis’ quad kings were just about enough to win him the pot, and it’s the end of the line for Branco. Brummelhuis remains our massive, ridiculous, obscene chip leader on over 250,000.
