Anton Wigg has opened a few pots today, and had been three-bet off his hand on a number of these occasions.
This happened once more before he tried again with an open to 48,000. Once more he was three-bet; this time by Davidi Kitai, but in between the two actions a player accidentally exposed .
This greatly effected the action as Wigg folded face-up and said he would've moved all-in if he didn't see the exposed queen. Pratyush Buddiga is sat next to Wigg and said, "When you win the tournament you can look back and see this as a pivotal moment."
