Wilkerson Avoids Blowup

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

From middle position, one time chip leader Dylan Wilkerson, raised to 1,300 and the player to his left called. However, the small blind moved in for 3,250 and after a moments thought, Wilkerson isolated the all in player by moving his stack in as well. The third player, who had just slightly less chips than Wilkerson, quickly folded {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs} face up to the surprise of the table. Wilkerson sheepishly turned over {j-Spades}{8-Spades} and was behind the {a-Spades}{6-Hearts} of the all in player.

The flop fell {3-Spades}{j-Hearts}{3-Clubs} improving Wilkerson's hand. The turn was the {10-Clubs} and river {q-Diamonds} which officially gave him the pot. However, the table had a good yell when the river fell because it would have given the {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs} broadway. Wilkerson got a little lucky that the player folded and is now up to 29,500.
