Willcocks Takes Early Pot

Ben Gilholme opened the action to 300 from under the gun and all the players at his table got out of the way before Phil Willcocks made the call in late position.

Flop: {8-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

Gilholme again led, this time for 400 and Willcocks again made the call as the {q-Spades} was dealt on the turn. Both players opted to check as the {9-Hearts} completed the board.

Gilholme thought for a few moments before deciding to softly tap the felt, at which point Willcocks quickly checked behind. Gilhome tabled his {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} and they would hit the muck when Willcocks turned over his {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}
