Wells Making Another Run Towards the Final Table
Level 17
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Adam Wells, who finished 3rd in this event last year has built himself a stack on Day 2 and is threatening to make back-to-back final tables.
In a recent hand he raised to 16,000 from middle position and was called by Derek Sacoff in the hijack and James Solana in the small blind.
The flop came and after Solana checked, Wells bet 32,000. Sacoff folded, but Solana called.
On the turn, Solana checked again, then called a bet of 80,000.
The players checked through the river and Soalana showed for a stubborn pair of sixes that also missed a gutshot straight draw.
Wells showed for a winning pair of nines to boost his stack over 700,000.
