Wahlbeck and Calls
Level 4
: 150/300, 0 ante
A fair bit of fortune for Ville Wahlbeck as his final bowl of rice found the win and the triple-through-plus. A raise to 750 in early-middle position found a call from Praz Bansi and two others before Wahlbeck on the button moved all-in for 1,850 total. The initial raiser called, but Bansi asked the dealer, "Can I raise?"
Yes, he could. Up it went to 6,125 total which served its purpose to isolate the all-in short stack.
Bansi:
Wahlbeck:
It was all over but the singing on the flop, with the turn and river being a useless . It didn't really hurt Bansi's stack, but it makes a pile of difference to Wahlbeck, who now can avoid the autocall and has a foot back in the door of the tournament.
