Wading to Victory

The field is too vast to confirm, but Waheed Ashraf could well be your current chip leader with 55,000. A regular at Dusk Till Dawn in Nottingham, 'Wade', as he is more commonly known, told of a brave, if not maniacal bluff he just pulled off to help reach that figure:

"There was a raise to 525 and a couple of callers, including myself with pocket fours. The flop came {A-?}

rainbow, and we all checked. On the {10-?}

turn, the first guy led out for 1,200, the initial raiser folded, and I made it 2,600. He reraised to 5,500, I made it 9,000 and he called. Then, on the {8-?}

river, I stuck him all in and he folded. When I showed the hand, he said, 'That was a really good bluff', so I reckon I must have got him off A-5 or something."

Note to self: don't mess with Wade.
