Wells Gets There on the River to Bust Old Mouse
Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Billy Davila raised to 8,000 under the gun and Weston Wells called in middle position. Roger Old Mouse then three-bet to 25,000 in the cutoff and Bobby Cobb called on the button, as did Davila and Wells.
The flop came 9♦4♠7♥ and Old Mouse continued for 25,000. Only Wells called to the 3♣ turn, where Old Mouse bet another 50,000. Wells again called.
The river was the A♣ and Wells moved all in. Old Mouse snap-called and turned over A♠Q♦ for top pair, but Wells had rivered a straight with 5♦2♦ to win the massive pot.
The stacks were counted down and Wells' 150,500 had Old Mouse barely covered, earning Wells the knockout.
