Wexler Mixing It Up

Jonas Wexler
Jonas Wexler
Jonas Wexler opened with raises to 140,000 the first three hands following the break. He won the first and third without a fight. On the second, Josh Brikis reraised to 300,000, and Wexler got out of the way.

Matt Hawrilenko took the next hand with a preflop raise. On the next one, it folded around to Wexler in the small blind who completed, and Brikis checked behind from the big blind.

The flop came {2-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{9-Clubs}. Wexler paused a beat, then bet 75,000. Brikis quickly called. The turn was the {7-Clubs}, and this time Wexler bet 170,000.

Brikis sat motionless, his right hand -- in a cast -- resting on his left shoulder as is his usual pose. Finally he picked up his cards with his left hand and tossed them to the dealer.

Wexler is up to 1.925 million, and Brikis is at 4.35 million.
