Wilson Scoops a Big One, Ivers Eliminated

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Taylor Wilson
Taylor Wilson

The action was joined as Taylor Wilson, on the button, and David Ivers in the big blind were competing for a pot that already had 880,000 in the middle.

The action was complete on the 257 flop, and the players had just been dealt a J turn.

Ivers led out with a bet of 275,000, which Wilson called.

The river 2 brought in the backdoor flush, while also pairing the board.

This didn't slow Ivers down, though, who moved all in for 730,000. Wilson wasted little time in calling and heard the dream words from Ivers, "I'm playing the board."

Ivers flipped over 43, and Wilson turned over Q9, showing he had rivered a flush.

Wilson pulled in the huge pot, while Ivers headed to the exit.
