Win With Wilson

Sunday Night Fever
Sunday Night Fever
'Mad' Marty has been living up to his name of late, but I believe it's little more than a reflection of how much he wants to final table this event.

If you couldn't hear the commotion from the live feed - although I expect you could hear, at least, the odd shout - let me fill you in.

Short-stacked and in need of a double through, Wilson was all in with {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} versus the {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} of Alan Trueick.

The room was rather quiet as the dealer reached for the pack, but as a couple of players wished Wilson good luck, the man from Wolverhampton shouted at the top of his voice, "Come on, Marty! Come on, Marty!"

Armed with his avid self-support, he headed towards the flop: {4-Clubs}{10-Spades}{A-Clubs}. "I've dodged the flop!" he screamed. "I've dodged the flop!" As he stepped back, he almost tripped over a table amid the excitement.

Turn: {7-Hearts}

"One more card! One more card!"

River: {5-Hearts}

"Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

Marty Wilson, the Hevad Khan of the Midlands, doubles through to 210,000.
