Wilmot's Tough Call Propels Him Near the Top
Matthew Wilmot opened to 4,200 from early position and found a single caller in the big blind.
The flop came 
and the big blind open shoved for nearly 40,000! Wilmot fell deep into the tank and began thinking out loud.
"I've got the nut flush draw....that's such a big bet," Wilmot said.
After much deliberation, Wilmot mustered his courage and shouted, "I call!"
The big blind sheepishly flipped over 
- a stone bluff. Wilmot celebrated and turned over 
for the ace-high flush draw.
The 
turn and 
river kept Wilmot in the lead and he scooped the rest of his opponent's chips.
Wilmot is among the chip leaders with about 120,000.
