Gwinner Risks his Main Event with Massive Call
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
With almost 600,000 in the middle, the board read A♥8♦5♥10♠7♠. Herik Gwinner had already checked and was faced with a bet of 335,000 from Kyriakos Papadopoulos.
Gwinner went in the tank for about four minutes before the floor was called for a clock. About 10 seconds of his allotted 30 seconds went by before he flicked in one chip to call off his stack of 332,000.
Papadopoulos tabled K♥9♥ and Gwinner jumped with joy as he showed Q♠Q♦ to drag the pot and remain in the 2023 World Series of Poker Main Event.
