Normand and Wilkerson Duking it Out

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Derek Normand
Derek Normand

On a heads-up flop of Q56, Derek Normand moved all in and Zhong Wilkerson made the call to put him at risk.

Derek Normand: 67
Zhong Wilkerson: 22

Wilkerson needed to spike a deuce to win, but the runout of A4 did not do it and Normand scored a double.

The very next hand, she got it all back when she doubled through Normand with aces versus his flopped top pair of kings.

On the following hand, they were heads-up on the flop of 924 when Wilkerson bet 12,000 and Normand check-jammed all in. Wilkerson called with KQ while Normand held 55 for the lead. The runout of J5 improved Normand to a set of fives and he took the pot for a double.

And finally, on the next hand, Normand shoved preflop and once again Wilkerson called to put him at risk.

Derek Normand: KQ
Zhong Wilkerson: J9

The board ran out 982Q5 to give Normand the win with his pair of queens and he is sitting at 120,000 while Wilkerson was left with 62,000.
