The Thrill Moving Already

Will "The Thrill" Failla has wasted little time in building his chip stack here on Day 3. After Mike McDonald raised to 20,000 from middle position, Failla called from the cutoff seat and the two players saw the flop come down {Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}. McDonald bet 36,000 and Failla made the call.

The turn was the {9-Spades}, which brought in some straight draws. McDonald checked and Failla fired the pot for 127,000. McDonald tanked and then made the call.

The {9-Hearts} paired the board on the river and both players checked their option. Failla showed the {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} for a king-high straight and won the hand. McDonald mucked.
