Wigg Gets the Maximum

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante
Anton Wigg
Anton Wigg

A player opened to 800 from under the gun and was called by the player one seat over. Anton Wigg then three-bet to 3,700 from late position only to see the under the gun player four-bet to 10,500. The early position player got out of the way while Wigg flatted to send the two heads-up to the flop.

Both players checked through the {q-Spades}{j-Spades}{j-Hearts} flop to see the {2-Clubs} turn. The under the gun player then led out for 12,000 and was called.

Action checked to Wigg on the {3-Clubs} river and he, after some consideration, moved all in. His opponent snapped it off but mucked after Wigg turned over {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}, leaving the under the gun player with crumbs.

D'Ambrosio Avoids Fremont Street

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

Three players saw a flop of {7-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}. Jimmy D'Ambrosio checked to the middle position player who bet 1,400. Harry Kazazian thought for a while before folding his button.

"I'm just enjoying...it just pains you to fold, doesn't it Harry?" asked D'Ambrosio while tossing in the call.

The turn was the {6-Clubs} and D'Ambrosio checked again. His opponent bet 3,600 and D'Ambrosio again made the call.

The river fell the {7-Clubs} and both players checked the final street.

"I was trapping, what do you got? I've got you beat," said D'Ambrosio.

D'Ambrosio showed {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} for a full house, his opponent showed {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}.

"I would have busted you, I folded two pair," said Kazazian.

"You would have busted me. You would have sent me to Fremont Street dancing for nickels," said D'Ambrosio.
