Lucky Lady Spares Wolak

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Marsha Wolak
Marsha Wolak

A player in early position raised to 3,200 and was called by Marsha Wolak on the button and the player in the small blind.

The flop came {9-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Clubs} and it was checked to the original raiser, who continued for 3,200. Wolak raised to 9,000 and action folded back to the original bettor, who raised enough to put Wolak all in for her last 36,000.

Wolak tanked for some time before deciding to commit her chips with a call.

Marsha Wolak: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Early-position player: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}

It was a worst-case scenario for Wolak, who had run into top set.

The {7-Hearts} turn changed nothing; however, the {q-Spades} river sent the table into an uproar as it provided Wolak with a superior set — good for the double up.

"Oh my God, I need a beer now," Wolak said. "That's crazy."
