Wilburn Rivers Williams Out

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Richard Wilburn raised to 13,000 from the hijack before Adam Williams announced all in for 61,000 in the cutoff. After taking some time, Wilburn slid in the call and the hands were turned up.

Adam Williams: AQ All in
Richard Wilburn: K10

Williams stayed ahead through the 3J8 flop, with the 6 turn changing nothing. Wilburn then spiked the K river, winning the pot and sending Williams to the rail.

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Dominic Lake
Dominic Lake

Dominic Lake was all in from the big blind, facing initial raiser Steve Pheasant from under the gun.

Dominic Lake: A10 All in
Steve Pheasant: 44

Lake connected with the 2J1036 runout, making a pair of tens to score the double-up. That left Pheasant with just 6,000 chips, which were sent to Lake on the very next hand.

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Jonathan Ares: 88 All in
Dennis Firestone: AK

Ares was flipping, and faced no danger on the 1059410 runout to earn more than a double-up.

One Bet Enough for Firestone

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Jebadiah Steward raised to 8,000 in early position, and Dennis Firestone made the call in the cutoff. Michael Jouaneh came along in the small blind, with Wolfgang Hafer also tossing in a call from the big blind.

The dealer fanned out the Q6A flop, with action checking around to Firestone. After a moment, Firestone slid out a bet of 16,000. That was enough to produce folds from all three opponents, as Firestone collected the pot.

Richard Wilburn
Richard Wilburn

Richard Wilburn opened to 6,500 in middle position, and Patrick Waters made the call in the hijack. Zachary Gruneberg defended his big blind, and checked on the K25 flop.

Wilburn continued for 13,000, with both opponents making the call. Another check from Gruneberg followed the 8 turn, and Wilburn fired 46,000 into the middle.

Waters did not take long to fold, while Gruneberg flashed a king as he let his hand go.

"What was your kicker?" asked Wilburn.

"Ten," replied Gruneberg.

"Good fold," Wilburn said while showing KJ as he raked in the pot.
