Big Pot for Wilson

RazorSharpPro

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Jules Wilson opened the action to 11,000 from mid position, with Sam Mrad re-raising the button to 18,000. Wilson called and checked the flop over to Mrad, who continued for another 18,000.

This brought a check-raise to 42,000 from Wilson, which Mrad called after some time in the think tank to swell the pot to over 120,000 and the dealer peeled of the to bring four to a straight and Wilson mulled over his options before choosing to lead for 77,000.

Mrad gave Wilson the staredown for a few seconds and slid in the call to swell the pot to 267,000 and the river completed the hand, bringing in a possible flush also. This saw Wilson take his time, before deciding the right amount to bet was 90,000.

This was spot on, and while he didn't look thrilled about it, Mrad made the call. Wilson showed for the turned straight, and Mrad flashed for a turned set.

"That six was the worst card on the turn," lamented Mrad as the gigantic pot was shipped Wilson's way, but then that's all a matter of perspective; for Wilson it was the perfect card and he climbed to 700,000 while Mrad dropped to 90,000.

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

A big pot played out between Vincent Xu and Jason Pritchard that saw the latter take quite a few chips from the former, with Pritchard kind enough to provide PokerNews the details after the fact.

The river saw Pritchard make a bigger boat and scoop the pot to climb to 492,000 while Xu dropped to 180,000.

The short-stacked Josh Carlile got the last of his chips in with pocket aces and looked to be in great shape to score a double against the pocket tens of an opponent, but the flop brought an abrupt and to Carlile's Main Event run.
