Wigan Tank-Calls With a Set

Kirk Brown

Level 30 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Jesse Wigan opened to 300,000 and Frank Lagodich defended from the big blind to see a flop of 9?8?6?.

Both players then checked and went straight to the turn 7?. Lagodich checked, Wigan bet 250,000, and Lagodich check-raised to 650,000. Wigan thought about it for a few moments but eventually made the call and the two went to the river K?.

Lagodich then led for 925,000 and Wigan went deep into the tank. After several minutes, he finally tossed out a chip to make the call, which caused a grimace from Lagodich as he tabled 7?3? for just a pair of sevens. Wigan then proudly flipped over 9?9? for a flopped set of nines to take down the substantial pot.
