Williamson's Condition Improves

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Robert Williamson III completed with a {5-}, and Rep Porter asked how much he was playing (90,000) before making a raise to two bets with an {8-}. Williamson called.

On fourth street, Williamson showed {5-}{8-}, and he checked. Porter's board was {8-}{10-}, and he bet. Williamson called, and they went ahead and put the last 15,000 in there and turned up the cards. Williamson started with {k-}{2-} / {5-}{8-}, and Porter was working with {8-}{6-} / {8-}{10-}.

Porter's board ran out {9-}{6-} / {8-}{10-}{q-}{8-}{a-}, and his ten-low was the hand to beat. With his first six cards out, Williamson was showing {k-}{2-} / {5-}{8-}{k-}{4-}, and he was drawing live to survive. "I need to beat a ten?" he asked rhetorically. "All right, I'm gonna squeeze this one."

He did just that, finally ripping open a {10-}. That gave him a ten-eight, the best hand, and the double up. He's back to 207,000 now, knocking Porter down a peg to about 400,000.
