Wiggins Hits the Rail

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Minx Wiggins
Minx Wiggins

Minx Wiggins and Mike Melkersen played a hand to the river. On the river, Wiggins checked to Melkersen who shoved all in. Wiggins would be at risk if he decided to call.

Leading up to this, Wiggins check called all the way. He check-called the flop of {10-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{9-Hearts} for 6,000. He check-called the {3-Hearts} for 12,000 and now he checked when the river came {4-Spades}.

Melkersen had Wiggins covered by only a little with an all in bet of 25,700 into a pot of about 37,200.

"You know what?" Wiggins asked, "I call."

Melkersen flipped over two aces, {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs} and Wiggins dropped his hand into the muck.

"Good hand Mike," Wiggins said as he exited toward the rail.

Break Time

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Players are on a 15-minute break. There are 11 players remaining and play will stop if the field gets down to five. The scheduled end to Day 1a is at the end of level 14, but with four levels left to play tonight, there is a chance that today's small field might finish early.
