Normand and Wilkerson Duking it Out
On a heads-up flop of Q♣5♣6♦, Derek Normand moved all in and Zhong Wilkerson made the call to put him at risk.
Derek Normand: 6♣7♣
Zhong Wilkerson: 2♥2♠
Wilkerson needed to spike a deuce to win, but the runout of A♠4♦ did not do it and Normand scored a double.
The very next hand, she got it all back when she doubled through Normand with aces versus his flopped top pair of kings.
On the following hand, they were heads-up on the flop of 9♦2♠4♠ when Wilkerson bet 12,000 and Normand check-jammed all in. Wilkerson called with K♠Q♥ while Normand held 5♣5♠ for the lead. The runout of J♣5♥ improved Normand to a set of fives and he took the pot for a double.
And finally, on the next hand, Normand shoved preflop and once again Wilkerson called to put him at risk.
Derek Normand: K♦Q♥
Zhong Wilkerson: J♠9♠
The board ran out 9♥8♦2♠Q♣5♦ to give Normand the win with his pair of queens and he is sitting at 120,000 while Wilkerson was left with 62,000.
