Wells Straightens Out His Opponent

Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante

A completed board of {5-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} was showing with about 23,000 already in the middle. Weston Wells moved all-in for 25,000, enough to cover his opponent.

After a couple of minutes in the tank, the player begrudgingly jammed his whole stack in to declare a call.

Wells turned over his {8-Spades}{6-Spades} for a straight, while his opponent revealed his {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts} two pair before exiting the tournament area.

Orlick's opponent led for 5,500 and he went into the tank. After about a minute he tossed in a call.

His opponent revealed {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} for a pair of kings but Orlick confidently showed his {9-Spades}{9-Hearts} set to take down the pot.
