Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

The action folded to David Poehlman in late position who moved all in for 3,175,000. The decision was on Noam Muallem who went into the tank. After about a minute Muallem made the call.

David Poehlman: A♥A♠ All in
Noam Muallem: K♦9♣

The board came 4♣2♦J♥ which was no help for Muallem.

The turn gave Muallem some help with a 10♦ giving him some straight outs.

“QUEEN! QUEEN!” Muallem asked the dealer to help score the knockout, but it wasn’t the right broadway card for Muallem as the J♠ hit on the river. Giving Poehlman a double up heading into the dinner break.

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.
