Willerson Doubles

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

The board read {7-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{10-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} when we found Jim Willerson all in and at risk for his last approximately 35,000 against a lone opponent. Willerson's opponent called and the hands were turned on their backs.

Willerson: {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Opponent: {A-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

Willerson was in the lead with his top two pair, but his opponent had four to a club flush and could eliminate the WSOP bracelet winner from play with a fifth club on the river.

The river was the {7-Spades}, ensuring that Willerson would find continued life in today's flight. His stack now sits right around 85,000.
