Wilinofsky Stays Involved
Level 28
: 40,000/80,000, 5,000 ante
Max Heinzelmann raised to 165,000 from UTG and it was passed around to Ben Wilinofsky in the big blind who asked for a count of Heinzelmann's stack. The German looked to have around 1.8 million chips remaining and Wilinofsky raised to 465,000 but his opponent folded instantly.
Next hand saw Martin Jacobson open to 160,000 and Wilinofsky made the call from the small blind to see a wet-looking flop. Wilinofsky check-called a bet of 185,000 from the Swede and the came on the turn. Wilinofsky checked again and Jacobson now pushed out a cool half million in chips out into the middle of the table. This time it was Wilinofsky who opted for the fold - can these shorter stacks peg him back?
