Wakil Withstands the Pressue
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Sonny Franco opened to 3,000 from the hijack and was called by Jamil Wakil and Christophe Morbee from the cutoff and small blind. Marc Pronilow three-bet to 13,000 from the big blind, and Wakil was the only player to call.
Wakil called bets of 11,000 and 18,000 on the flop and turn for the final board to read 8♥7♣4♣J♥5♦.
Prinilow, with 36,000 behind, went into the tank while he mulled over his options. He settled on a check which prompted Wakil to move all in as the slightly shorter stack. Prinolow didn't like the spot and found himself back in the tank for several minutes. It looked like he was going to call, but in the end, he let his hand go.
