Matthew Wilkins Wastes 'Em With Aces

Level 7 : 150/300, 25 ante

With the knockouts coming frequently around the Pavilion Room, we caught Matthew Wilkins dispatching a player from today's field with his {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}. His opponent held {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and was in trouble heading to the flop, which fell {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}.

When the turn came {A-Diamonds} the other player pounded the table in frustration and left the room in a hurry. Wlikins had made a full house and, after the meaningless {3-Spades} on the river, his opponent's stack was shipped his way.
