Howard Wilamowski

With about 650,000 in the pot and the board reading Jd9s8c, Howard Wilamowski checked from the big blind and Jeronimo Abalos put a stack of 100K chips in the middle. It was more than the 1,125,000 Wilamowski had behind and he went in the tank for a few minutes.

After thinking it through, he moved his stack in the middle to call at risk.

Wilamowski: 9h7h
Abalos: KdTs

Wilamowski was ahead with middle pair of nines but needed to fade Abalos’s open-ended straight draw and overcards. The 5c turn was safe and he pulled a double after the 4c river.

Howard Wilamowski – 2,900,000 (23 bb)
Jeronimo Abalos – 725,000 (6 bb)
