Wilf’s Back-to-Back Double-Ups
In the first hand, Yunkyu Song opened with a raise to 2,500 from under the gun, picking up three callers along the way.
The flop came down 9♠4♠Q♣, and after everyone checked, it was Saar Wilf, last to act, who made a move with a bet of 4,000. The other players folded, but Song raised to 10,500, only to face an all-in from Wilf.
Song stood up, put on his coat, and a fellow player at the table mentioned that the last time he did this, he won. After a moment's thought, Song made the call, leading to a showdown.
Saar Wilf revealed A♦Q♠ for a pair of queens, while Yunkyu Song showed A♠5♠, hoping for a flush.
Unfortunately for Song, the turn brought the 9♥ and the river the J♦, giving Wilf the double-up.
In the very next hand, Jelle Moene raised to 2,500 from under the gun, and Wilf called, but Ankit Ahuja in the hijack came in with a three-bet to 10,500. Moene folded, but Wilf stayed in the action with a call.
Wilf checked the 10♥K♥9♣ flop, allowing Ahuja to take a shot with a 20,000 bet. After considering his options, Wilf decided to go all in again, and Ahuja snap-called, leading to another showdown.
Wilf revealed 10♠10♦ for a set of tens, while Ahuja had A♠K♦ for top pair.
The J♠ gave Ahuja some straight outs, but the 7♣ on the river didn't help him, allowing Wilf to double up for the second time in a row.
