Level 10 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Wakil opened to 9,000 under the gun and was met with a three-bet to 25,000 by Davies in the hijack.

Wakil then moved all in for 153,000 and after some thought, was called by Davies. who was way behind.

Jamil Wakil: QQAll in
Seth Davies: 66

Wakil's premium pair immediately improved, as he flopped a set and then held up through the Q544K runout to score the double with a full house.

Ren Lin then playfully needled Davies after the hand with a variation of his trademark catchphrase saying "You're like me, gamble too much. No future."
