Donovan Gets Massive Double; Liperis Takes Out Wilkinson
Level 20
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Blind versus blind, Fabian Donovan and Martin Donoghue got the rest of Donovan's 360,000 in the middle before the flop.
Fabian Donovan: 6♦6♥
Martin Donoghue: A♦J♦
It was a massive flip with more than 700,000 in the middle, and Donovan emerged ahead as the board came 3♠3♣5♦10♣10♦, leaving Donoghue on an extreme short stack.
At the same time on another table, Adam Wilkinson was all in for his last 160,000 from the big blind and up against Yiannis Liperis in the hijack.
Adam Wilkinson: A♦K♦
Yiannis Liperis: J♦J♠
"We need an ace," Wilkinson said heading to the 3♣8♣9♦ flop. "That's not good," he added before the 2♣ fell on the turn.
"Shit," he said, watching the 7♣ river seal his elimination.
