Wiltshire's Attempt to Build a Bigger Bag Halted

Mike Patrick

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Beau Wiltshire bagged 98,000 Friday night to guarantee himself a min-cash and a trip to Day 2, but he opted to try to build a bigger stack in flight 1b.

His efforts were recently thwarted by Mark Lafata after Wiltshire jammed his roughly 10,000 chip stack in the small blind and was called by Lafata in the big blind.

Beau Wiltshire:
Mark Lafata:

A ten on the flop gave Lafata the lead, and the runout couldn't save Wiltshire, who could potentially still enter again or hop into flight 1c should he choose.
