Andrew Brokos is wearing a T-shirt that reads “STAY FOCUSED.” We report that confidently, although truthfully it took some work to read it, as the words are humorously blurry.
Just now Brokos was involved in a hand with David Paredes in which the action was picked up on the turn.
The board read . Or it might have been . Things were a little fuzzy.
In any case, it appeared as though after Paredes checks, Brokos bets 450 (about half-pot), Paredes check-raises to 2,000, then Brokos pauses a bit before calling.
Both then check the river, and your humble scribbler has to squint a little to make sure that yes, that’s a fourth spade on the board.
Paredes tables for a set of sixes, but Brokos has for a set of aces, all those spades having prevented even more furious action between the pair.
Both sit with about 28,000 at present.
