Wakil Binks Hard

Jamil Wakil opened the pot to 32,000 from the hijack seat, and Chet Farrell made a three-bet to 81,000. Wakil called pretty quickly, and off they went to a heads-up flop.

The dealer spread out {7-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {4-Spades} , and it brought all the action. Farrell continued out with 92,000, but Wakil came back with a raise to 192,000 straight. Farrell shoved in on him with the covering stack, and Wakil asked to make sure he heard correctly before snap-calling his last 850,000 total.

"Flop a set?" Farrell astutely inquired.

Showdown
Wakil: {6-Hearts} {6-Clubs}
Farrell: {J-Hearts} {J-Diamonds}

Farrell was less than pleased with the spot he'd found himself in, and there'd be no recovering. The turn {4-Clubs} and river {Q-Spades} were blanks, and Wakil has found a monster double to claw back into contention for the chip lead.
