To go on a heater like that, you need to run well, but Brooks has the play to back up the results. He aired on the side of aggression all the way into heads-up play, where he even got an all-in bluff through with just four-high. He battled with his friends on the rail, sweating the action, and when it was all said and done, he raised the ring in victory.
Brooks said he would stay for the remainder of the series to see if he could snag some more hardware before Cherokee comes to an end. Winning Event #1 is never a bad way to start the series.
