Wakeman Wins Some

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

Reigning champion Ari Engel brought it in for a raise to 2,000 from the hijack before Matthew Wakeman three-bet to 5,600 in the cutoff. It folded back around to Engel and he made the call to see the flop land {10-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts}.

Engel checked it over to Wakeman who continued for 5,200. After a call from Engel the dealer turned the {q-Diamonds}. A quick check from Engel saw Wakeman think for around a minute before checking himself and the {8-Diamonds} peeled off on the end.

Engel loaded up and fired for 8,700 which was snapped off by Wakeman as the cards went on their backs.

Wakeman: {q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Engel: {j-Spades}{10-Spades}

Wakeman’s top pair was good against Engel’s second pair and Wakeman added that pot to his stack to eclipse the six-figure mark.
