Wilson Runs Into Aces

David Salituro

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

Dale Wilson moved all in for 30,000 under the gun, Mihail Zglavoci reshoved in early position for 50,000, and the rest of the table got out of the way.

Dale Wilson: 6♥6♣ All in
Mihail Zglavoci: A♥A♣

Zglavoci had woken up with aces to leave Wilson at serious risk of elimination, and Wilson found no miracles on the 9♣4♣5♠4♠K♦ board as he was sent to the rail.

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

Adam Wilkinson was all in for 60,000 from under the gun, Thomas Hall put his last 40,000 in from early position, and small blind Zexuan Huang called to put both players at risk.

Thomas Hall: 9♦9♠ All in
Adam Wilkinson: 9♥9♣ All in
Zexuan Huang: J♥J♠

Hall and Wilkinson saw the bad news when they turned over the same hand, leaving them with scant hope against Huang's jacks. The board ran out 6♣2♦K♣3♣Q♣ and Huang improved to a flush to send both opponents to the rail.

"Why did he have to have a club?" Wilkinson lamented.

At the same time at another table, Cameron Williamson moved all in for 18,000 in early position and Matthew Davenport called under the gun.

Cameron Williamson: A♣Q♥ All in
Matthew Davenport: 9♥9♣

It was a race situation, and Davenport's nines stayed in the lead through the K♦6♦7♠3♣2♥ to earn him another knockout.

"I'm going home. Too much poker this week," Williamson, who finished second to Maogen Fu in the High Roller, said on his way to the exit.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Stewart Davie moved all in for 60,000 in the hijack, Daniel Johnson pushed forward a tower of chips for a reraise on the button, and the blinds quickly got out of the way.

Stewart Davie: 4♠4♦ All in
Daniel Johnson: A♦Q♥

The A♥ fell right in the window and Davie was already up from his seat by the time the rest of the 6♣J♣ flop was revealed. The A♣ turn improved Johnson to trips, while the river was the 2♥ and Davie was sent to the rail.

Day 1a chip leader Dmitri Dudakov is also at this table, as is UFC veteran Terence Etim who is engrossed watching a fight on his phone.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Joe Dixon raised to 8,000 in middle position, Ian Simpson moved all in from the small blind, and Dixon snap-called for 119,500.

Joe Dixon: A♦K♥ All in
Ian Simpson: 2♥2♠

It was a big flip for Dixon's tournament life, and he picked up additional outs on the 9♦7♣7♠ flop. The 9♥ turn gave him two pair and counterfeited Simpson's deuces.

"Ah. Deuce," Simpson pleaded, but the dealer instead turned over the 5♥ on the river and Dixon doubled up.

Ian Simpson	180,000 210,000	210,000

Whyte Comes From Behind Against the Chip Leader

David Salituro

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Francisco Salvador had a raise of 12,000 in front of him in the cutoff before Jamie Whyte moved all in for 105,000 on the button. The table folded back around to Salvador who snap-called.

Jamie Whyte: 5♥5♦ All in
Francisco Salvador: Q♦Q♥

Whyte had run into Salvador's queens and found no help on the J♦4♦4♥ flop, but he spiked the 5♠ on the turn to make a full house. The river was the 10♥ and Whyte found a fortunate double up against the start-of-day chip leader.

"You'll say you played that brilliantly, wouldn't you," tablemate John Clements joked with Whyte after the hand.
