There was no let up on the next hand either, a standard raise and a call from Kulhanek again, now in possession of his chips. Branded was all in on the A-Q-5 club flop with A-J. His opponent held tens, one of which was a fateful club. A club on the turn left Brandon with mere pocket change. To complete the beating Brandon’s all-in move with A-3 was ahead against K-9 until the king hit the river. Brandon out for €12,650.
