Aces, Aces and Kings For Willerson

That sounds like he must have around half a million chips now, but too bad he lost all-in pre flop with pocket aces twice. Paul Wasicka told us how he lost all-in pre flop against pocket tens the first time and just a couple of hands later it was Kennii Nguyen who got his money in with {6-Spades}{7-Clubs} against, once again, the pocket aces of Neil Willerson. We saw the following showdown for a pot worth over 200,000.

The board ran out {7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and Nguyen's two pair took the pot down. Another couple of hands later Willerson got his last 67,000 chips into the middle with {K-Hearts}{K-Spades} against {7-}{7-} and after the board showed {K-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Spades}{9-Clubs} Willerson finally had a hand hold up. He is now back up to 155,000 chips and still in the hunt, but oh boy his stack could have been massive!
