Wakil Binks Hard
Jamil Wakil opened the pot to 32,000 from the hijack seat, and Chet Farrell made a three-bet to 81,000. Wakil called pretty quickly, and off they went to a heads-up flop.
The dealer spread out , and it brought all the action. Farrell continued out with 92,000, but Wakil came back with a raise to 192,000 straight. Farrell shoved in on him with the covering stack, and Wakil asked to make sure he heard correctly before snap-calling his last 850,000 total.
"Flop a set?" Farrell astutely inquired.
Showdown
Wakil:
Farrell:
Farrell was less than pleased with the spot he'd found himself in, and there'd be no recovering. The turn and river were blanks, and Wakil has found a monster double to claw back into contention for the chip lead.
