Wilinofsky Wins Wilinofsky vs. Soulier Duel

[user46298]

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Ben Wilinofsky, Berlin EPT winner, has won a huge pot mid level 9, busting long-term table antagonist Fabrice Soulier in the process. Soulier was the preflop raiser (to 2,400 from the cutoff), called by both blinds. On the {3-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} flop, Soulier bet 3,700 when it was checked to him, the small blind folded but Wilinofsky bumped it up to 8,200. Soulier called. The turn was the {J-Spades} and now Wilinofsky led 15,800 (checking out Soulier's 62,000 remaining stack after he made the call once again).

The river: {4-Spades} and a fatal card it proved for the French EPT regular. Wilinofsky, sunglasses off, simply set Soulier in - and he was called in a second. Wilinofsky showed {A-Spades} {8-Spades} for a perfectly rivered flush, and Soulier calmly took his leave, bumping Wilinofsky up to over 170,000.
