Wilkinson Bubbles; Smith More Than Doubles

Level 16 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 15,000 ante
Dan Smith
Dan Smith

Wil Wilkinson shoved for his last 40,000 from the hijack and was called by Dario Alioto in the small blind. Dan Smith raised to approximately 140,000 from the big blind — leaving himself just 1,000 behind and Alioto called.

Alioto drew one and both Smith and Wilkinson stood pat.

Alioto bet to put Smith all in before looking at his draw and Smith called all in.

Dan Smith: 8x7x6x4x2xAll in
Dario Alioto: 7x6x4x3x

Alioto peeled a 4x and Wilkinson mucked his hand — eliminating Wilkinson and more than doubling Smith on the stone bubble.

Tilton Picks the Right Time to Wake Up With a Monster

Level 16 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 15,000 ante

Action folded to Danny Wong who moved all in from the small blind as James Tilton quickly called for his last 37,000 in the big blind.

Wong took one, but it was of no use as Tilton turned over 7x5x4x3x2x for a pat wheel. "I'll say you're the favorite," Ali Eslami said.

Wong didn't even bother looking at his cards before mucking and giving up the pot. "What is that? I keep getting f**ked. I've had like four tilting things happen to me in the last hour and a half," Wong lamented.

Taylor Wilson raised to 20,000 in the cutoff and George Alexander three-bet to 75,000 on the button. Wilson then moved all in for 100,000 and Alexander called.

Wilson stood pat while Alexander drew one. "Yes! You're drawing dead, buddy," Wilson said as he shot out of his seat and turned over Jx10x9x6x3x.

"Oh no. How can you call that?" Alexander replied, showing 5x4x3x2x.

"Let's do it together," Wilson told him as he grabbed Alexander's last card. "It's a three-carder. I'm drawing dead. Oh, it could be a six," Wilson added.

"It's not an eight so I'm 50-50," he said, looking at the card from another angle. "You have a wheel," he concluded, tossing a 7x into the middle of the table and making his exit right before the dinner break.

Elias took one and Betil stood pat, opening up 9x6x5x3x2x. Elias had 7x5x3x2x for a draw to a wheel, but he paired his three on the draw. "Let's go!" Betil yelled out, shooting out of his seat while Elias counted out the chips to pay off the double up.

Around 150,000 was already in the middle as Bariscan Betil and Andrew Kelsall went heads-up to the draw. Betil then bet 100,000 from under the gun.

Kelsall was in the cutoff and went deep into the tank. "Didn't you say you didn't like gambling?" Betil asked him after several minutes had gone off the clock.

"Okay, you talked me out of it," Kelsall said.

"You're going to fold now?" Betil added, and Kelsall tossed his cards into the muck.

"Show the bluff for PokerNews," Dario Alioto said, and Betil showed 7x5x2x2x2x for trips as he took the big pot.
