Brandt Can't Get Away from It

Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
On a board reading A?J?6?, Lawrence Brandt felt he was too short to not get his chip in the middle against Yusuke Tanaka.
Lawrence Brandt: A?9?6?5?
Yusuke Tanaka: A?K?K?J?
Brandt had flopped top and bottom pair but Tanaka had top two. The turn improved Tanaka even more when the K? gave him a set, causing Brandt to have no river he could win on and the useless Q? rolled off the deck.
