Wigg Shuts Down on the River
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Gonzalo Almeida opened to 40,000 from under the gun and was called by Cesar Garcia from the hijack. Anton Wigg defended his big blind.
On the 7♣7♠5♥ flop, Wigg and Almeida checked, prompting Garcia to bet 40,000. Wigg made it 90,000 and folded out Almeida but Garcia stood his ground and called.
Wigg fired out another 160,000 on the 6♠ turn and was called. The 7♥ river was an action killer as both players checked.
Wigg tabled 10♣9♣ for ten-high and Garcia took in the pot after tabling pocket eights.
