Rollercoaster Ride for Chris Wallace

Level 30 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante
Chris Wallace
Chris Wallace

Chris Wallace raised to 400,000 from under the gun, and Joshua Marvin three-bet to 1,150,000 from the small blind. Wallace called. The flop came {q-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{2-Spades}, and Marvin paused for a moment before moving all in. Wallace had about 1,100,000 behind but opted to let his hand go.

In the very next hand, Benjamin Pollak raised to 375,000 from under the gun, and Wallace decided to defend his big blind. The flop came {j-Spades}{10-Clubs}{2-Hearts}, and both players checked to the {3-Hearts} on the turn. Wallace led out for 350,000, and Pollak called. The river was the {k-Clubs}, and Wallace moved all in. Pollak asked for a count but ended up folding.

Wallace's rail cheered in celebration as he raked in the pot.
