"April $100,000 GTD:" The Extra Minute Was All Wolff Needed

"April $100,000 GTD"
$360 No Limit Hold'em Deep Stack
Level 5 (Blinds 150/300/25)
Total Flight 1A Entries: 83


David Wolff (Sarasota, FL) deep in the tank as Joseph Durso waits patiently.

The action at Table 7 was caught on the turn, as David Wolff and Joseph Durso heads-up, in what would turn out to be the largest pot of the flight.  With the board reading Q 7 2♠ 2, Durso would shove for 37,225 (which was almost three times pot).  Wolff had Durso covered, but was visibly unsure about his decision.  "Just give me another minute guys, I'm really sorry," Wolff expressed to the table as he continued thinking about his next move.  With Durso sitting back in his chair, Wolff gave a quick glance over before deciding to make the call:

Durso: K Q♠
Wolff: A♣ Q

The river would bring the 3, which sealed the hand for Wolff, and sent Durso to the rail.  Wolff collected the pot, putting him over 115,000, and making him the clear chip leader early in this flight.  Durso couldn't understand why Wolff took so long to make his decision, but you don't amass career earnings of $75,000 by not thinking things through.  Wolff already has three cashes this year, all during the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown, totaling close to $20,000.

David Wolff - 118,000
