Wiggins on the Decline

Brentharrington

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Minx Wiggins has been losing more than he's been winning during this level. He already doubled up Paul Priest and now he doubled up Paul Geibler.

Geibler flopped a full house and got paid off on the river when he went all in for his last 11,000. Wiggins called and seemed mildly distraught at his current downswing. His table is breaking, so time will tell if the seat change will help him change directions.
