Matt Brady Wins the 2008 Aruba Poker Classic

Holding a commanding chip lead Saturday night, Matt Brady limped from the small blind then called when Johan Storackers raised to 200,000. They saw a Jc-10c-10d flop and when Johan checked, Matt bet 270,000. Johan moved all in and Brady called instantly, showing the 10h-7h for trips while Johan held Ac-Jh for top pair. Johan needed a Jack or more clubs, but the turn brought the 7d, giving Matt a full house and leaving Johan dead to a Jack. But it was the 6c that came on the river, giving Matt Brady the million dollars, the gold bracelet, and the 2008 Aruba Poker Classic title.
