Not So Thrilling for Failla

During the break Will "The Thrill" Failla strolled by the media desk to inform us of an interesting hand he'd just played.

As he told it, a player limped before he did the same holding . The big blind checked his option and the three of them went to a flop that contained two spades.

The first player to act led out for 27,000 and the limper just called. Failla then raised it to 85,000 and the big blind moved all in for around 240,000. The other player, who was sitting on around 500,000 just like Failla, hemmed and hawed before asking: "Do you have me covered?"

"I just had a bad feeling," Failla told us.

Eventually, the player moved all in and Failla ditched his two pair. It was a good thing he did as the big blind had a king-high flush draw and the other player a set of deuces.

"I ended up third best," Failla said after revealing the river came a spade to complete the flush.
