Wilson Leaves Failla Short

David Salituro

Level 33 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Will Failla raised to 1,800,000 in the cutoff. John Wilson announced "900" in the small blind and attempted to raise, but a tournament official ruled he had to just call.

Both players checked the J♦Q♥5♥ flop. Failla then bet 4,000,000 on the 2♥ turn, and Wilson called.

The river was the K♣ and Failla bet 5,000,000. Wilson quickly called, and Failla showed A♦6♦. Wilson turned over A♣K♥ for a rivered pair to win the pot.

"Couldn't win it any other way. Good river. You got more that way," Failla told him.

Level 33 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

John Wilson opened to 1,700,000 under the gun and Michael Mann flatted in middle position. In the cutoff, Yuriy Kudrynskyy squeezed to 5,800,000. Wilson quickly got out of the way, but Mann took some time before he announced all in for 24,800,000, and Kudrynskyy snapped it off, covering by 900,000.

Michael Mann: J♥J♣ All in
Yuriy Kudrynskyy: A♠A♥

Kudrynskyy woke up with the goods as Mann needed to find a jack to survive. The 6♠3♠2♥ flop offered no help to Mann, and the K♥Q♠ runout could not save him as the wrong paint appeared, and his run ended in ninth.

Level 32 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

It folded to John Malvasio in the small blind who jammed for 6,175,000. In the big blind, John Malczan confirmed the count and deliberated for a while before he announced, "Let's gamble," and slammed in the call.

John Malvasio: A♠4♠ All in
John Malczan: K♥10♥

Malvasio was a small favorite until the Q♠10♠2♥ flop paired Malczan, but Malvasio picked up the nut flush draw. The 10♣ turn took away a couple outs for Malvasio, and the river was the 3♣, ending his run in tenth place on the final table bubble.

Level 32 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Yuriy Kudrynskyy opened to 1,200,000 under the gun and was called by Will Failla in the small blind and Baruch Fishman in the big blind.

On the 5♠3♣2♥ flop, Failla led from 2,000,000, Fishman folded, and Kudrynskyy called.

Failla then checked on the K♦ turn, Kudrynskyy bet 3,500,000, and Failla called.

On the J♠ river, Failla checked a final time to Kudrynskyy who bet 7,500,000, about two-thirds of his remaining stack, and over half of Failla's remaining stack. The table witnessed a rare tank from Failla, who eventually elected to fold after nearly two minutes.

"You really turn the ace-king on me?" Failla asked, "Or a bluff? You don't wanna talk about it?"

"Are you scared of me?" he continued, "I would be, too."
