Wilinofsky Not Quite Centurion But Definitely in Charge

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Ben Wilinofsky raised to 1,025 under the gun and it folded all the way around to the gentleman in the big blind (astoundingly, there are a few people in this incredibly stacked field whose faces we do not recognise). Mr. Big Blind called, and they saw a flop.

Flop: {2-Spades}{5-Clubs}{8-Spades}

Mr. Big Blind checked to Wilinofsky who bet 1,500. After a short pause, Mr. BB called.

Turn: {10-Hearts}

Again, Mr. BB checked, and Wilinofsky now bet 2,500. This time the pause from Mr. BB was rather longer, but he eventually called again.

River: {2-Clubs}

Mr. BB checked for a third and final time. Wilinofsky asked the dealer to spread the pot (it was around 12,500) before betting 35,000 to cover Mr. BB, who had around 15,000 left. The spell in the tank from Mr. BB was epic this time - after perhaps five or six minutes, the clock was called. Mr. BB attempted to extract some information from Wilinofsky via the medium of asking questions, but Wilinofsky just stared fixedly at the felt and refused to answer. Eventually, with around 20 seconds remaining, Mr. BB folded.

Wilinofsky is up to 90,000.
