Ollie Garland

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Narcis Nedelcu raised to 50,000 from middle position, Philip Wiszowaty called on the button and Huihan Wu defended in the big blind.

Wu checked at the sight of the A♣A♥K♠ flop, Nedelcu continued for 50,000 and both players called.

The 4♠ turn checked to Wiszowaty, who took the lead for 140,000. Only Wu called.

The 2♦ river saw Wu check again and Wiszowaty bet out for 175,000. Wu spent a considerable amount of time in the tank before finally making the call. Wiszowaty tabled 7♣6♣ for seven-high, while Wu won this pot with A♠3♦ for flopped trips.

Action was picked up on the turn with about 300,000 in the pot, on a board showing 2♣7♠6♦7♥. Nicholas Massey from the small blind checked to Yutaka Yoshida in middle position. Yoshida bet 100,000 and was called by Massey.

The river brought the J♦ and once Massey checked, Yoshida announced all in for 425,000. Massey quickly made the call and showed A♠5♠ for ace high, and Massey tabled 2♠2♥ for deuces full of jacks, to eliminate Yoshida.
