Wilf Wrestles Lead From Gomila
True to the quite from his bio interview yesterday, Saar Wilf is not shying away from Tomeu Gomila here in the early going.
The second hand of the day began with Gomila opening to 110,000, and Wilf three-bet to 275,000 in position. Gomila quickly called, and the two men took a flop heads-up. Gomila checked and called a bet of 300,000, and he called another 550,000 after the turn. On the river, Gomila's last check signaled it was safe for Wilf to bet again, and he announced, "One million," the first time we've heard that bet this tournament. Gomila called rather quickly again, and those were chips he'd not get back.
Wilf tabled , and Gomila appeared to flash two jacks as he spun his cards onto the felt.
It only took two hands for a 3-million-chip pot to break out, and Wilf has taken the chip lead courtesy of it.
