Wilson Bluffs a Double to Reading

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 5,000 ante

John Reading bet 180,000 into two opponents on a {6-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{7-Clubs} flop, and only James Wilson called, from the button. On the {q-Hearts} turn, Reading bet 250,000, and Wilson announced all in. Reading snap-called, showing {6-Hearts}{6-Spades} for a set.

"You got me," Wilson said, turning up {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for a gutter. The {5-Clubs} river wasn't what he needed, and he sent 1.06 million to Wilson.

Leo Fussy Eliminated in 5th Place ($23,576)

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 5,000 ante
Leo Fussy
Leo Fussy

James Wilson opened for 120,000, and Peixin Liu called on the button. Leo Fussy put his last 170,000 in, and John Reading called, as did Wilson and Liu. Everyone checked down the {8-Hearts}{a-Spades}{2-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} board, and Fussy shook his head and tossed {q-}{3-} in. Reading couldn't beat it with {4-}{3-}, but Wilson had {q-}{7-} for a better queen-high.

"Wow," Liu said, shaking his head in amazement as he realized his {q-Diamonds}{10-Spades} was good for the pot.

"Perfect Card" for Liu

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 5,000 ante

Peixin Liu made it 120,000 in the small blind, and John Reading defended. Both players checked the {4-Spades}{10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} flop, and Liu bet 200,000 on the {k-Diamonds} turn. After he was called, Liu did the same thing on the {3-Clubs} river and was quickly called. He showed {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}.

"Perfect card for you, Liu," Reading said, throwing {k-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} in.
