Solomon Busts Williamson

Gaelle Jaudon

Level 7 : 250/500, 0 ante

A first player limped and Robert Williamson on the button made it to 2,250. Jarred Solomon three-bet to 6,250 and after some thought, only Williamson made the call.

Solomon bet 4,000 before the fell, putting Williamson's tournament at risk. He ended up calling for his last 2,700 and the players tabled their cards:

Robert Williamson:
Jared Solomon:

A fell on the turn but the river gave Solomon the flush and eliminated Williamson. Solomon now has a comfortable stack worth around 64,000.
