Wakil Slowplays Pocket Aces
Level 13
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 160,000 ante
Jamil Wakil raised to 32,000 from under the gun with Manuel Carvalho three-betting to 75,000 from the seat next to him. After the rest of the table folded, Wakil made the call.
The dealer fanned out the flop of 7♥A♠2♦ and Wakil check-called a bet of 22,000 from Carvalho.
Wakil checked again on the 5♦ turn and Carvalho bet enough to put Wakil all in, which was for roughly 170,000. Wakil snap-called.
Jamil Wakil: A♣A♥ 
Manuel Carvalho: J♦10♦
Wakil had slowplayed pocket aces and hit top set, but Carvalho still had a flush draw that he could hit on the river to win the pot.
The J♣ was safe for Wakil's set and he had doubled up.
