Wigg Grows
First into the pot, Marius Torbergsen opened to 3,800, and JP Kelly called right next door. All the way around in the small blind, Anton Wigg stacked out a reraise, and he made it 14,300 total. Torbergsen took his pause before adding another seven red chips to his own bet to make it a reraise to 38,800 straight. That sent JP Kelly fairly deep into the think tank, though he reluctantly folded after some time. Wigg announced an all in for 61,700, and Torbergsen quickly called the remainder to put his man at risk. Cards up, gents:
Wigg:
Torbergsen:
Phil Ivey asked JP Kelly, "Queens?" A nod of confirmation from Kelly satisfied Ivey's curiosity as Wigg stood up to sweat his fate.
The flop was clean, coming . The turn was an awfully out-y card as it gave Torbergsen another twelve outs to the knockout. The river was safe (and ugly for Kelly), though, and that's a big double up for the Swede. He's all the way up to about 130,000 now.
