Wakil Forces a Fold with a Big River Raise
Level 1
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
From under the gun, Pieter Aerts opened to 2,500 and Jamil Wakil called from the hijack.
The flop came 8♠A♠5♥, and Aerts continued for 2,500. Wakil called once more.
On the K♥ turn, Aerts fired again, this time for 12,500, and Wakil stuck around.
The 2♥ river brought more action as Aerts went for 25,000, but Wakil responded with a raise to 120,000. That big move was enough to make Aerts fold quickly, sending the pot to Wakil.
