Mingus Is Wilkie's Next Victim
Level 18
: 5,000/10,000, 2,000 ante
Phil Gioia raised to 20,000 under the gun and received calls from both Dan Mingus in the cutoff and Steve Wilkie in the small blind. The flop came 
and action checked to Mingus, who bet 50,000. Wilkie announced a check-jam and Gioia folded, with Mingus announcing a reluctant call for the rest of his chips.
"Nice set, Steve," said Mingus, tabling 
and seeing Wilkie's 
. Mingus could not catch running boat outs on running 
and Wilkie collected another knockout, taking his stack above 1.6 million in the process.
Jason Vanstrom and Tony Clapes, both of whom were shorter stacked on Table 9 were also eliminated lately, and 23 players now remain.
