WIlkie and Dixon Exchange Doubles

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Steve Wilkie limped in from the hijack and saw Mike Itoafa limp in behind from the button. Rich Dixon completed his small blind and Pat Pineda checked his option from the big blind.

The flop came {7-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{5-Hearts} and action checked to Wilkie, who bet 3,200. Itoafa folded and Dixon put in a check-raise to 13,800. Pineda folded and Wilkie called, taking action heads up to the turn {9-Spades}. Dixon continued, firing another 28,000 forward and Wilkie announced he was all in. Dixon called for a total of 79,700.

"I have a straight and a straight flush draw," said Wilkie, tabling {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}.
Dixon showed {10-Spades}{5-Clubs}.

Dixon's flopped tens up were all of a sudden in need of improving to a full house, with one of his tens being no good due to the fact that it would give Wilkie a straight flush. The river fell {5-Diamonds} and Dixon secured the double.

A few hands later, there was a three-way all in on a flop of {4-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} between Steve Wilkie in the big blind, Brian Leitch in middle position, and Rich Dixon in the cutoff.

Rich Dixon: {a-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}
Brian Leitch: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}
Steve Wilkie: {6-Spades}{4-Clubs}

Wilkie pleaded with the dealer, using his "one time" while asking to hold and win the pot with his sixes up. The dealer complied with a runout of {k-Spades}{8-Diamonds} to Wilkie more than the double. With Leitch as the shortest stack, he was eliminated in the process, bringing stacks to their current figures.
