Posted: Wed, Jun 22, 05, 4:23 PM
Hand 191 - Gale has the button, he raises to $20,000, Wilson reraises to $60,000, Gale reraises to $180,000, Wilson reraises all in, and Gale calls. Wilson shows pocket fours (4d-4s), but Gale has pocket tens (10d-10s). Wilson is dominated here, and will need to catch something to survive. The flop comes Jc-8d-4h, and Wilson flops a set to take a big lead in the hand. Now Gale will need to hit a ten, or a runner-runner straight to eliminate Wilson. The turn card is the 8s, and Gale needs to hit an eight or a ten (4 outs) to eliminate Wilson. The river card is the Ks, and Brian Wilson has doubled up in chips.
Brian Wilson has just taken the chip lead.
