Tosques Hits a Wheely Good Hand
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Action was caught preflop, with both big blind Francois Tosques and middle position Vitorino Ilheu committing 4,500 to the pot.
The K♠5♣3♠ flop was dealt, and Tosques fired 4,000 into the middle. Ilheu raised to 9,000, and Tosques took a moment before moving all in, holding 46,000 in his stack. Ilheu, with only 36,000 total, called all in for his tournament life.
Vitorino Ilheu: K♣Q♠
Francois Tosques: A♠4♠
The Q♣ turn removed Tosques ace outs, and he missed his flush on the river, however the 2♥ gave him a wheel. It took a moment before the table realised that he had made the straight, and Ilheu flung up his arms in disbelief before exiting the tournament area.
