Brisom’s Straight Beats Compatriots


On a raised pot with the board of 8 A 10 8 9, Jay Tolon, the original preflop raiser, bet 1,000 facing two other Filipinos still in the hand. John Tech made the call as well as Brian Sombero a.k.a. Brisom.

Tolon meekly mucked his hand and John Tech showed A 9 for two pairs. However, Sombero had 6 7 for the straight.

Thanks to the river, this small pot belongs to Brisom.
