Wiley Spikes the King

Kirk Brown

Level 15 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Level 11: Blinds 1,500/3,000/3,000

After a raise to 30,000 preflop by Taylor Howard, Brendan Wiley moved all in for 69,500. When action got back around to him, Howard paused for a few moments before he made the call to put him at risk.

Brendan Wiley: A?K?
Taylor Howard: A?9?

Howard did not like to see that he was dominated, but the flop of 3?9?5? changed things when he made a pair of nines to take the lead.

"NO!" Wiley shouted and banged the table, which seemed to somehow have some effect as the K? immediately rolled off on the turn to swing the lead back in his favor.

The 4? came on the river to change nothing and Wiley was pushed the pot for the double-up while Howard was cut down to 75,000
