Wilkie Rides a Roller Coaster To Double
Level 23
: 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Steve Wilkie open-limped on the button and Justin Liberto raised to 125,000 in the small blind. Wilkie came over the top, shoving for exactly 500,000 and Liberto called.
Steve Wilkie: 
Justin Liberto: 
Wilkie was way out in front going to the flop, which came 
and brought chop outs on board. An even worse scenario came for Wilkie on the turn 
, resulting in him standing up in disbelief. Then, a miracle 
came on the river, causing Wilkie to take one step over and hug the dealer, thanking him in the process for keeping him alive.
