Knight Fills Up on Waigel
Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Ezequiel Waigel picked up A♠A♦ under the gun and raised to 325,000. The rest of the table folded and Waigel won the blinds and antes.
Waigel got no action on that hand, so the next pot he decided to create his own. After Curtis Knight raised to 300,000 in the hijack with K♠J♠, Waigel three-bet to 900,000 out of the big blind with 7♣6♠. Knight called and they saw a flop of K♦5♠7♠.
Knight had flopped top pair and a flush draw, calling a bet of 400,000 from Waigel. Both players checked the K♥ turn after Knight improved to trips.
The J♦ river gave Knight a full house and Waigel checked again. Knight then pushed forward 2,260,000 and Waigel snap-folded.
