Fallis Doubles; Wheeler Busts
A player limped in under the gun and action folded around to Mike Fallis, who went all in from the cutoff. The next two players folded and the big blind asked to confirm the amount of 23,700, which the dealer did. He thought for a bit and then folded, putting action back onto the under-the-gun limper.
"You're probably ahead," said the player. "I call," he added afterwards so quickly that it came out as one runon sentence.
Mike Fallis:
Under the Gun:
The player was not immediately correct, but his statement became true as the flop fell to give Fallis a pair of kings. It would be all Fallis needed as the turn and river completed the runout and scored him the double.
Moments later, Mike Wheeler was eliminated from the tournament on an adjacent table after his flopped top pair with ace-queen ran into a set of threes.
