May Bluffs Off a Big Chunk to Wakeman

Level 13 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Catching action on the turn, there was already 75,000 in the pot with the board showing {Q-Hearts}{5-Spades}{3-Spades}{5-Hearts}. Matt Wakeman was first to act from the small blind and he checked it over to Heidi May. May put out a bet of 45,000 and Wakeman called.

The river was the {2-Clubs} and Wakeman checked for a second time. May then put out a big bet of 125,000. Wakeman thought about it for a bit but eventually called showing his {Q-Clubs}{6-Clubs}. It was good enough to take down the pot as May could only turn up {8-Spades}{4-Spades} for missed spades and eight high. With that, May dropped under 300,000 while Wakeman chipped up to nearly 800,000.
