The Comeback Continues

Karle Wilson, known far and wide for coming back from 60,300 to start the day, raises to 9,000 to start the hand, under the gun. Stefan Mattsson reraises to 32,300 in middle position. Wilson calls.

The flop is {Q-Spades}{4-Spades}{8-Spades} and Wilson checks. Mattsson bets 25,000 and Wilson raises to 75,000. Wilson calls.

They check the turn and river of {5-Clubs}-x. Wilson turns over {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} and Mattsson turns over {A-?}{K-?}.

Wilson's hand wins and he climbs to 715,000 -- good for third in chips and not far from the chip lead. Mattsson falls to 201,000.
