Wakil Left With a Chip and a Chair
Level 12
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Nick Petrangelo raised to 26,000 from the cutoff with A♣A♠ and Jamil Wakil defended his big blind holding 6♥5♣.
Wakil checked to Petrangelo, who continued for 16,000 on the Q♥A♥5♦ flop. Wakil then check-raised to 65,000 and Petrangelo called holding the nuts.
Wakil barreled for 90,000 on the 2♠ turn and Petrangelo again called.
The J♦ completed the board and Wakil bet 169,000 — leaving himself just 1,000 behind. Petrangelo moved all in and Wakil quickly folded.
