Willie Doubles Up

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante
Dale Willie
Dale Willie

Dale Willie, in the small blind with only a single call before him, announced a raise to 3,800 before the flop. Willie's opponent in the big blind folded but his opponent in middle position chose this moment to reraise. The opponent pushed forward a stack of about 48,000, leaving a few 500 chips behind but covering Willie with the bet.

Willie went into the tank considering his options and how he wished to proceed. After a minute or two of consideration, Willie made the call.

"Just a pair of treys," announced the middle-position player. Without verbally responding, Willie turned over his hand.

Dale Willie: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Opponent: {3-}{3-}

The board ran out {2-Hearts}{6-Spades}{6-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} and Willie chose this moment to speak, "You could have had Ace-King! I was really worried about that!"

Willie pulled in the pot for a full double up.

Five players were still in the hand with a board showing {a-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{7-Spades}.

MSPT champ Jason Seitz was in the big blind position and put out a bet of 1,800. The player to his left called before another player raised to 4,500 from middle position. There were two folds before Seitz made the call. The player caught in the middle decided to throw his cards in the muck.

River: {j-Spades}

Seitz didn't hesitate after the river card and pushed forward a stack totaling 6,100. His opponent to the left made the call and saw the bad news.

Jason Seitz: {a-Spades}{5-Spades}

Seitz made a runner-runner flush while his opponent paused before chucking his cards to the muck.

The board read {q-Clubs}{2-Spades}{10-Clubs} and the players in the hand were ready for action. Before a turn card was shown, three players including Devin Looney were all-in.

Opponent 1: {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

Opponent 2: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

Devin Looney: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

With just under 75,000 in the pot, everyone at the table held their breath to see who would be the new table chip leader.

The {3-Hearts} turn and {k-Clubs} river didn't improve either opponent and Looney was pushed the large pot.
