Wilson Charges to the Lead
Level 19
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 0 ante
After trailing Harvey Castro for much of the contest, Brandon Wilson took down two sizable pots in a matter of three hands to take the lead.
The first hand was joined with Wilson all-in on the river with the board reading 7♦3♠A♣Q♣5♦.
He earned the full double-up to more than 270,000 chips with A♠J♥.
Two hands later, Wilson bet 7,000 on a flop of 2♦6♠8♦. Castro raised to 19,000, and Wilson called.
The players checked the turn, with action coming after the river completed the board K♣10♠.
Castro bet 80,000 chips. Wilson studied through a couple time banks before announcing an all-in.
Castro threw in his cards.
