Wiese on the Rise
Level 16
: 2,500/5,000, 0 ante
Jamie Pickering and James Wiese just got involved in a big hand that saw them putting their close-to-even stacks in the middle following a flop. That's when Pickering led for 30,000, Wiese raised all in for around 120,000, and after some thought Pickering called.
Pickering tabled for top pair, an open-ended straight draw, and a backdoor flush draw, while Wiese had for a wrap draw to a straight and a backdoor flush draw of his own. As it turned out, that latter backdoor flush draw of Wiese's proved meaningful as the turn was the and river the , giving Wiese a huge double and crippling Pickering to less than 20,000.
Shortly after that hand, Wiese eliminated a short-stacked Peter Charalambous to add still more chips to his stack.
