Will the Thrill Indeed
Will Failla started out this recent hand by making it 6,000 from the cutoff. Nicolas Levi, on the button, then raised to 13,500. Failla made the call and both players witnessed a flop. It was here that Failla check-called a bet of 11,500 from Levi.
An turn brought a repeat of action with Failla again check-calling a bet from Levi, this time 13,000. A river saw Failla bet out 20,000. Levi then made it 45,000, Failla completed the call and was shown by his opponent for a jack-high straight. After the hand, Failla was knocked down to 46,500.
A hand later Failla was at it again, only this time against Cheong. Failla moved all in for 46,000 from the hijack and was called by Joseph Cheong on the button.

Failla was all in and behind for his tournament life. a board brought Failla two pair, but it was only second best as Cheong's ace-ten was the better hand.
