Wilklow Scores a Huge Double-Up
Level 38
: Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante
A huge hand just propelled Michael Wilklow up the counts.
Weizheng Zhong opened to 2,500,000 and Wilklow had called from the big blind to see a flop of 4♦10♥A♥. Wilklow check-called a bet from Zhong to the 6♠ turn, where again Wilklow checked. Zhong fired out 9,000,000, and Wilklow called.
A 7♠ completed the runout and Wilklow checked again, then Zhong shoved for around 28,000,000. Wilklow had 21,550,000 behind and needed just a few moments before he tossed in the call, putting his tournament at risk.
Zhong then showed A♠Q♦ for top pair, but Wilklow had the winner with 10♣7♣ for two pair and scored a huge double-up.
