"Getting There", By Rob Williamson
Under the gun, Jamil Wakil opened to 85,000, and he found action from Rob Williamson who came along with a flat on the button.
The dealer rolled out , and it would prove to be quite the action bringer. Wakil continued out with 125,000 before Williamson raised to 400,000, and the bettor came right back with an all-in shove to put Williamson to the test for his last 1.095 million total. The call came quickly, and the cards were on their backs.
Showdown
Wakil:
Williamson:
Williamson was on the come, and he needed to find a jack or some running help cards to stay alive.
Turn:
Well, that'll do. Williamson, who had been standing, took a seat back in his chair as he'd turned his lucky Broadway to put himself one card from the double. Now he just needed to fade the remaining queens and aces in the deck, and the river was just fine.
After that double, Williamson has put himself back around the chip average with 2.465 million, setting Wakil all the way back to about 1.6 million in the process.
