Daly Takes First Big Pot of Heads-Up
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 50,000 ante
Carson Wieland raised to 240,000 with K♦7♠5♦4♠ and got called by Jason Daly with 9♠9♥6♥2♥.
The Q♥3♠2♣ flop gave Wieland an open-ended straight draw, but Daly's nines were still the best hand. Daly checked, and Wieland fired 350,000 with his draw which got called by Daly.
The best hand got better on the turn with the 9♦, giving Daly trips. Again he checked.
This time after some thought, Wieland opted to check and try to hit his draw.
It didn't come in though, instead pairing the board with the 3♥, giving Daly a full house. The trapping continued as he checked a final time.
With no pair, Wieland chose to bluff at it, betting 725,000. Daly of course raised the pot and Wieland quickly folded, as Daly took a massive lead heads-up.
