Todd Brunson Chops It Up
Stud-8:
Todd Brunson and an unknown opponent were involved in a heads-up pot during the Stud Eight or Better round.
Brunson: (X)(X) - 
Opponent: (X)(X) - 
Brunson's opponent bumped it up on third street and the son of Texas Dolly made the call. On fourth street, both players checked and on fifth street, the unknown opponent fired a bet of 1,600 into the middle. Brunson came along and when sixth street was dealt, the action repeated, with a bet of 1,600 and a call by Brunson.
On seventh street both players checked it down and Brunson tabled the 
for an A2457 low. His opponent showed the 
for trip threes and took the high half of the pot. This chop left Brunson's stack at 13,500 chips as we near the completion of Day 1 in this $1,500 H.O.R.S.E tournament.
