Wiley Spikes the King
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Level 11: Blinds 1,500/3,000/3,000
After a raise to 30,000 preflop by Taylor Howard, Brendan Wiley moved all in for 69,500. When action got back around to him, Howard paused for a few moments before he made the call to put him at risk.
Brendan Wiley: A♥K♥
Taylor Howard: A♠9♣
Howard did not like to see that he was dominated, but the flop of 3♥9♦5♣ changed things when he made a pair of nines to take the lead.
"NO!" Wiley shouted and banged the table, which seemed to somehow have some effect as the K♠ immediately rolled off on the turn to swing the lead back in his favor.
The 4♥ came on the river to change nothing and Wiley was pushed the pot for the double-up while Howard was cut down to 75,000
