Wiora Survives a Sweat

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Ben Wiora opened to 7,000 in middle position and got a call from cutoff Steve Vang. Wiora bet 13,000 on the {8-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} flop, and Vang asked to see his chips. Wiora had about 35,000 total, and Vang put him all in and was quickly called.

Wiora: {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}
Vang: {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

Vang had the straight flush draw with top pair but needed improvement against the set of the Mid-States Poker Tour Ho-Chunk champ. The turn was a {4-Hearts} and the river a {10-Spades} not enough for Vang

"Sweat," Wiora said with a chuckle.
