BATB Event #1 (Flight 1C): James Wilk Flops Well, Manages To Triple Up

2018 Battles At The Beach
Event #1 | $175 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD)
Level 10 (Blinds 500/1,000/100) | Structure 
Total Flight 1C Entries: 150
Flight 1C Players Remaining: 72

James Wilk (Coconut Creek, FL) had to pleased when he was all-in against three opponents, none of which had much of a chance of winning on the flop.

At Table 6, James Will (Coconut Creek, FL) would open the action with a raise to 2,200, which would be received with three-calls.  A shorter stacked player would then three-bet shove for 6,400, with the big blind calling, along with the four other active players.  In total, five players were heading to the flop, with already 30,000 in the middle.  The dealer spread a flop of 8♠ 6 3♣, with Robert Flacco (who was in the big blind) open shoving for 22,500.  James Wilk would call for less (18,000), along with one other player (who only had 3,000 behind).  The cards would then be tabled, with Will holding a massive lead:

James Wilk: 8♣ 8
Player A: K 10
Robert Flacco: A♣ 9♣
Player B: A 6♣

Turn: 5
River: 9

Wilk's top set was a huge favorite on the flop, and although one of his opponent turned a straight draw, James would end up holding.  He'd more than quadruple up, after starting the hand with 20,200, and coming out of it with over 60,000.

James Will - 70,000 (70bb)
