Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Anton wigg

After Anton Wigg bet 1,200 on a flop of {k-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades} from under-the-gun, Loni Hui called from the big blind.

When the {7-Diamonds} fell on the turn, Wigg bet again to 3,500 after Hui checked. She didn't take long to make the call to set up a river.

The {5-Spades} river completed the board and Hui led for 12,000, to which Wigg announced ''All in''. Hui counted her stack out and after about 30 seconds she threw in the call.

Wigg tabled {9-Spades}{8-Spades} for the nuts, while Hui had {6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for the bottom end of a straight. Wigg had the bigger stack and sent Hui to the rail.

In the last leg of the 2022 WSOP, today sees the start of the final live $5,000 buy in the form of Event #87: $5,000 Buy-in No-Limit Hold’em at Bally's and Paris, Las Vegas. This prestigious event sees star-studded fields come out to play for another shot at taking home a WSOP bracelet.

Last year saw Bulgaria’s Boris Kolev beat a field of 531 entrants, including Uri Reichenstein heads up, to claim his first bracelet and career best score of $511,184. To defend his title, Kolev will likely have to outlast a larger field because of the larger fields seen at the 2022 WSOP.
