The Year of the Wahlroos
Soon after, Wahlroos was all in again holding A-K against his opponent's pocket nines. The board ran and again Wahlroos responded with an enthusiastic "Year of the Wahlroos" cheer. After scooping the pot, Wahlroos immediately apologized to the losing player, saying "Sorry for being so loud, I'd hate it if someone did that to me." His opponent replied that it was fine, but Wahlroos continued, "I was being an ass."
After two successful double-ups, Wahlroos is sitting with a comfortable 42,700.
