Wakil on Less Than a Big Blind
Level 18
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Jamil Wakil Q?J? raised to 200,000 from under the gun, leaving 100,000 behind, and Adrian Mateos A?J? called from the cutoff.
On the 8?7?3? flop, Wakil checked, and Mateos bet 95,000. Wakil called to leave one T-5,000 chip left behind. The 8? turn and 2? river checked through to showdown to leave Wakil forced all-in from the big blind in the next hand.
On the next deal. Roman Hrabec limped in from the cutoff before Martirosian made it 200,000 from the button. Hrabec folded for Martirosian's and Wakil's cards to go on their backs.
Jamil Wakil: 7?4?
Artur Martirosian: Q?6?
Neither player connected on the K?5?2? flop, but Wakil paired up to take the lead on the 4? turn. He avoided elimination on the 5? river and remained in contention.
