Wilinofsky High

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 5,000 ante

As if he wasn't already far enough in the lead chipwise, Ben Wilinofsky has won another multi-million pot. He raised preflop, called by Vadzim Kursevich on the button. The flop came {10-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{K-Spades}. Out bet Wilinofsky - 175,000 - called by Kursevich, The turn was a bricky {4-Diamonds} and now Wilinofsky bet slightly over the pot - 800,000. This huge bet was slowly counted out and called by Kursevich.

The river was the {J-Spades} and after checking out his opponent's dented stack, Wilinofsky bet out 1,300,000. This river card looked like it had punched Kursevich in the stomach. He thought for a long time, knowing that to call and lose would be devastating for him and send Wilinofsky's stack into the stratosphere. Finally, he made the painful-looking decision to pass.
