Wilkinson Binks a Double

Adria Balaguer opened the pot to 48,000 before Gregg Wilkinson three-bet shoved for 411,000 total. Next door in the big blind, Kennii Nguyen either called or re-shoved himself. We couldn't hear the verbal declaration, and no chip movement was made, but the decision was back on Balaguer. He folded, and Wilkinson was in jeopardy.

Showdown
Wilkinson: {A-Hearts} {10-Hearts}
Nguyen: {J-Clubs} {J-Diamonds}

The {4-Clubs} {A-Clubs} {3-Hearts} flop almost knocked Wilkinson out of his chair, and a celebration was two cards away. Only after the turn {4-Hearts} and river {K-Hearts} did he clap his hands together loudly and let out a big, "Yes!" He's found his double, taking a bite out of Nguyen's chip-leading stack in the process.
