Last year’s runner up in this event Daniel Idema raised from the small blind and Richard Brodie three-bet from the big. Idema called and both players checked the flop. Idema led out when the hit the turn and Brodie made the call. On the river, Idema check-raised Brodie who called only to be shown Idema’s for aces up on the river. Brodie mucked his hand as Idema took a step forward.
