Wilson on a Roll

Livello 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Andrew Wilson won two races in a row.

The first one had Wilson in the hijack position versus the big blind and the board read 3♦6♣10♥10♠6♦ and all of the chips were in on the river with the player at risk in the big blind.

Big blind: 4♠5♦
Andrew Wilson: Q♠10♦

The table was in awe that the big blind busted with a busted straight draw but Wilson raked in the pot with trips.

The second hand was a short stacked player on the button who went all in for his last 12,000 chips after Wilson had raised in middle position to 3,000.

Button: Q♠7♠
Andrew Wilson: 7♥7♦

The board came out 9♣10♠7♣A♦3♥ and Wilson hit his set for the win.

Kenny Hallaert: 9♦8♦
Opponent: K♥K♠

Hallaert had his opponent almost drawing dead after flopping a flush and straight flush re-draw. The board ran out 8♥5♥ and Hallaert scored the full double up.

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action folded to Pete Chen in the cutoff who raised to 2,000. The button folded to the player in the small blind who put in a three-bet to 7,500. Chen called and both players headed to a flop of 3♠J♦4♠.

The player in the small blind continued by leading into Chen with a bet of 6,000. Chen called, prompting the dealer to burn and turn the K♦.

The small blind continued their aggression with a bet of 11,000, which Chen called, taking both players to an 8♠ river card.

The small blind player paused briefly as he thought over his action before deciding to move forward the last of his 30,000 or so chips and unfortunately for him, Chen was there waiting to snap him off and show A♥A♣.

As he stood up to exit the tournament area, the small blind player said, "I had to bluff this hand." as he turned up the 10♠2♥ in an apparent attempt to honor Doyle Brunson that had gone horribly wrong.

Livello 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The action was picked up when all the chips hit the middle on a flop of K♠9♠3♣ between Brad Owen in the small blind and his opponent in the cutoff who made the call to put Owen at risk for his remaining 20,900.

Brad Owen: Q♠J♠
Opponent: A♦K♦

Owen had a flush and straight draw against the top pair for his opponent. It wasn't much of a sweat for Owen when the A♠ peeled off on the turn to give him a flush and would only need to dodge an ace or king. The 3♠ completed the board and Owen scored the full double up to almost two times starting stack.
