Wilklow Takes From Strelitz
Level 34
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Action was picked up on a 10♣2♦10♥ flop with roughly 2,500,000 in the middle. Michael Wilklow bet 1,000,000 from early position, and Daniel Strelitz called. The turn brought the 9♥ and Wilklow checked before Strelitz bet 2,700,000. After some time, Wilklow made the call. The river was the 6♥, and Wilklow now led out for 10,000,000.
Strelitz went deep into the tank, trying to get a read on Wilklow. "I'm so confused," he stated. "What are you doing this with?" he asked. After some time, he added, "This is one of those pots where I'm a hero either way—if I call, I'm a hero; if I fold, I'm a hero." Wilklow remained stone-faced. Eventually, Strelitz found a fold, and Wilklow dragged in a nicely sized pot.
