Overbet Pays Off for Waaland

Kevin Taylor

Level 7 : 250/500, 75 ante

Cory Waaland was heads-up on the turn of a board showing when his opponent check-called a bet of 1,200 from Waaland. The river brought the , and his opponent checked again. Waaland took hardly anytime at all to assemble a massive bet of 8,300, and he slid it in. The pot only had about 4,500 in it, so the bet was for nearly double the pot.

His opponent spent a couple of minutes in the tank before someone at the table called the clock. Before the floor staff could even arrive at the table, though, the calling chips were put in, and Waaland tabled for a straight.

That hand vaulted Waaland up to the top of the leaderboard with 115,000, and he said after the hand that he felt "in the zone" today.
