Wilkinson Pressures Wang, Schulman Beats Volpe
Yong Wang raised from middle position and Alex Wilkinson was the lone caller from the small blind. The flop was 7♠3♦7♥ and Wilkinson checked. Wang tossed out a bet and then called when Wilkinson raised. The turn was A♦ and Wilkinson checked. Wang bet again and Wilkinson raised, but this time it was too much and Wang tossed his hand in the muck.
Nearby, Paul Volpe raised from the cutoff and Nick Schulman called from the small blind. The flop was 6♠9♥A♣ and Schulman check-called a bet from Volpe. Both players checked the 10♥ turn and the 4♥ river before Schulman turned over Q♣9♦ to take the pot with a pair of nines. Volpe flashed the losing hand and tossed it in the muck.
Elsewhere, Brian Lieberman hit the rail shortly after he returned from dinner.
