Niveau 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Stephen Courtney raised to 225,000 on the button and Harold Brooks defended the big blind. Both players checked the K?Q?5? flop and the 10? followed on the turn. Brooks bet 375,000 and Courtney raised to 900,000, Brooks moved all-in and Courtney called.
Harold Brooks: K?5? 
Stephen Courtney: A?K?
Courtney was behind but had several outs at his disposal. The most unlikely one was the 10? and the two pair of Brooks were counterfeited, which ended his chances of winning another SPT Main Event here at Time Square after his victory in 2024. According to the deal agreement, he takes home ZAR650,000 ($35,750) while Courtney is crowned the champion.
A recap of today's action is to follow.
