Wilkinson Gets Value With a Double Check-Raise
Pot-Limit Omaha
Naoya Kihara raised to 8,500 on the button and Viktor Blom defended the big blind. On the A♠10♦9♥ flop, both players checked. Both checked the 6♣ turn as well as the 7♠ river and Blom's A♥9♣4♥3♣ for two pair won the pot.
Paul Volpe raised the next button to 6,500 and Gus Hansen came along from the big blind. They checked the J♥5♦3♥ flop before Hansen bet the 3♣ turn for 8,500 and the 7♣ river for 22,000. Volpe called the first bet and reluctantly folded to the last bet.
Limit Hold'em
The game variant changed and Alexander Wilkinson raised, Kihara three-bet and Wilkinson called. On a A♣8♥7♥ flop, Wilkinson check-called before he then check-raised the 5♣ turn as well as the 5♦ river.
Kihara called both times and mucked to the A♠8♠ of Wilkinson.
