Wakil Wins at Showdown
Level 29
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Aleksandr Shevliakov raised it up to 200,000 from the button with A♣5♠ and Jamil Wakil called in the big blind with 9♠9♦.
On the Q♣2♣5♥ flop, Wakil checked and Shevliakov continued for 100,000, which Wakil called. The turn came the K♥, which came as a bit of an action-killer as both players checked.
The river was the 8♦ and Wakil put out a blocking bet of 100,000 with his nines. Shevliakov called with his pair of fives and Wakil's pocket nines won at showdown.
