Willie Wiggins

Willie Wiggins opened to 375,000 and Harout Ghazarian called in the big blind. The flop came 8s5h2s, Ghazarian bet 250,000 and Wiggins raised to 675,000. Ghazarian called, the turn was As and Wiggins bet another 500,000. Ghazarian moved all in for 8,650,000 and Wiggins called at risk.

Ghazarian: Ks6s
Wiggins: Ah8h

Wiggins turned aces up but that card also made a spade flush for Ghazarian. Wiggins could not find a full house on the Jc river and he was eliminated on the official WPT final table bubble.

A fantastic run for our Poker Room regular after coming back for Day 2 with only 43,000 (barely above a starting stack).

Harout Ghazarian – 17,400,000 (116 bb)

Nicholas Davidson opened to 400,000 from middle position and Willie Wiggins moved all in for 2,750,000. It folded back around to Davidson, he used a time extension chip, and called.

Wiggins: 8c8s
Davidson: AcKc

Wiggins needed his eights to hold to double and the flopped full house on the 8h6h6c board definitely helped. The 9d turn and 5c river finished the board and Wiggins celebrated.

Willie Wiggins – 5,875,000 (39 bb)
Nicholas Davidson – 2,900,000 (19 bb)
