Big Pot for Wilson
Jules Wilson opened the action to 11,000 from mid position, with Sam Mrad re-raising the button to 18,000. Wilson called and checked the 
flop over to Mrad, who continued for another 18,000.
This brought a check-raise to 42,000 from Wilson, which Mrad called after some time in the think tank to swell the pot to over 120,000 and the dealer peeled of the 
to bring four to a straight and Wilson mulled over his options before choosing to lead for 77,000.
Mrad gave Wilson the staredown for a few seconds and slid in the call to swell the pot to 267,000 and the 
river completed the hand, bringing in a possible flush also. This saw Wilson take his time, before deciding the right amount to bet was 90,000.
This was spot on, and while he didn't look thrilled about it, Mrad made the call. Wilson showed 
for the turned straight, and Mrad flashed 
for a turned set.
"That six was the worst card on the turn," lamented Mrad as the gigantic pot was shipped Wilson's way, but then that's all a matter of perspective; for Wilson it was the perfect card and he climbed to 700,000 while Mrad dropped to 90,000.
