WSOPC Grand Victoria

Level 2: 200/300, 300 Ante

After Joseph Elpayaa three-bet to 2,000 from the small blind facing a raise and two calls in front of him, Cody Brinn called on the button.

The flop rolled out and Elpayaa continued for 1,400 to see Brinn call. 

On the turn , Elpayaa bet sized up to 3,500 and Brinn looked him up a second time. 

Elpayaa checked the river over to Brinn who bet 15,000 and Elpayaa thought for a few seconds before tossing in the three grey chips. 

Brinn tabled as Elpayaa sighed, flicking his cards into the muck and ceding the pot to Brinn. 

• Cody Brinn - 62,900 (242 bb)
• Joseph Elpayaa - 16,800 (58 bb)
