Chris Land

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

In a pot that was four-bet and called preflop and on a flop of 4♥5♠7♥, Philip Wojtuniecki jammed for 44,400 into a pot of a little over 50,000.

His late position opponent wasted no time in calling to put Wojtuniecki at risk and headed to a runout.

Philip Wojtuniecki: A♦A♥
Late Position: K♦K♠

Wojtuniecki would only need to fade one of the two remaining kings in the deck to chip up in a massive way and when the turn and river came the J♣ and 2♥, Wojtuniecki secured a big double early in Day 1c.
