Three Saves Wood
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Nicholas Wood opened the action preflop with a raise to 12,000 from early position before Sherwin Basti elected to shove for 52,000 two seats over. Players folded to Thomas Grey, who called the all-in bet. Wood gave it some thought before he folded to send Basti and Grey to a showdown.
Nicholas Wood: A♠3♠
Thomas Grey: A♥K♣
Wood was in trouble against the better ace of Grey. The flop, however, gave Wood plenty of equity as it came J♠5♥9♠. The 3♦ turn suddenly put Wood in the lead, and with the flush draw trimmed Grey's hand to only two outs heading to the river. The 4♦ river completed the board and gave Wood the double up against Grey.
