Wantman Takes it Down
Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Uri Reichenstein opened the action to 125,000 from under the gun, and received two callers: Michael Walsh in the cutoff and Matthew Wantman on the button.
On a flop of 9♠6♦Q♠ action checked over to Wantman, who led for 140,000. Both players called. The turn 9♦ checked through, and Wantman sized up to 480,000 on the K♠ river after being checked to for a third time. Reichenstein took a good three minutes before finally deciding to release his cards. Walsh didn't take nearly as long to do so.
