Balilti Gets There
Level 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Michael Wang opened in early position to 2,600. He got called by Brendan Shiller in middle position, Matt Affleck on the button, and Daniel Balilti in the big blind.
The 7?10?K? landed on the flop and action checked to Wang who continued for 7,500. Shiller got out of the way and Affleck called on the button. Balilti sat in the tank for a moment and then check-raised all in for about 30,500.
Wang thought it over an ultimatly rejammed having the others covered. Affleck got out of the way and the cards hit their backs.
Daniel Balilti: 10?6?
Michael Wang: K?Q?
Balilti was behind until the dealer put the 6? on the turn and the 10? on the river. Balilti went from a pair plus a flushdraw to a boat and scooped a massive pot.
