Whittinghill Spikes the Turn

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Robert Georato opened to 40,000 in early position and Wayne Whittinghill three-bet to 150,000 in the cutoff. The small blind four-bet shoved all in for 220,000 and the action folded back to Whittinghill who quickly called.

Wayne Whittinghill: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Opponent: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}

Whittinghill was up against it when the cards were tabled but the {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} flop gave him some outs to work with. The {j-Clubs} on the turn was one of those outs to give Whittinghill a set of jacks and he held on through the {a-Hearts} on the river.

Kobie Wilkerson
Kobie Wilkerson

Kobie Wilkerson opened to 42,000 on the button and informed Ryan Eriquezzo who was in the big blind that it was not just a button raise. Eriquezzo disregarded the information and three-bet to 135,000. Wilkerson called and the flop came {j-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}.

Eriquezzo slid out bet of 165,000 and Wilkerson raised to around 350,000. Eriquezzo quickly moved all in for 668,000 and Wilkerson snap-called.

Kobie Wilkerson: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Ryan Eriquezzo: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}

Wilkerson out-flopped Eriquezzo by spiking a set of jacks and was in line for a monster pot. The {a-Hearts} and {8-Hearts} didn't change anything which sent Eriquezzo to the payout desk and put Wilkerson on the top of the leaderboard.

Maurice Hawkins: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}
Todd Millroy: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
