Brodsky's Chips Plummet; Still Having Fun
Joseph Brodsky couldn't win a hand to start heads up. He lost a series of small pots without show down. He lost with second pair to top pair and made a couple folds preflop before the following hands came up:
Hand 1:
On a flop of 9♠8♦5♥, Nick Guagenti started with a check and Brodsky promptly bet. The turn brought the 7♦ and the same action repeated. When the 2♥ rolled off, Guagenti checked one last time before calling a bet.
Brodsky tabled 6♦3♦ for the straight and finally had some chips pushed his way.
Hand 2:
Just a couple hands later they were heads up to a board of 10♥3♦2♠ and Brodsky bet, getting a call from Guagenti.
Brodsky slowed down with a check on the K♠ and Guagenti bet. Brodsky called and the river completed with the 6♣. Again, Brodsky check-called a bet from Guagenti.
Guagenti rolled over 10♠10♣ for a flopped set and continued on his heater, winning another small series of pots.
Brosky expressed how grateful he was to be on the big stage, at the final table and Guagenti asked, "You having fun?"
To which Brodsky responded, "I am so happy to be alive, you have no idea."
