Brock Wilson vs Mark Zullo
Brock Wilson (left) and Mark Zullo

Mark Zullo raised to 80,000, and Brock Wilson called. The flop came KcJhJd, Wilson checked, Zullo bet 75,000, and Wilson check-raised to 175,000. Zullo called.

The turn card was the As, Wilson checked, Zullo bet 150,000, and Wilson called.

The river card was the 10s, Wilson checked, and Zullo moved all in. Wilson had 555,000 left in his stack, and he went into the tank for a long time.

At one point, Wilson said, “I have a jack,” which would mean trip jacks, but he thought for a while longer before he called all in for 555,000 and made it official by showing Js3d for trip jacks.

Zullo turned over 8c7c for a bluff (he was playing the board), and Wilson won the pot to double up in chips.

Brock Wilson  –  1,960,000  (49 bb)
Mark Zullo  –  2,200,000  (55 bb)

A short while later, Brock Wilson raised to 40,000, Mark Zullo reraised to 225,000, and Wilson thought for a while before he called.

The flop came KsKd8h, Zullo bet 130,000, and Wilson called. The turn card was the 3d, and both players checked.

The river card was the 6s, Zullo bet 150,000, and Wilson tanked for a while before he raised to 725,000. Zullo tanked for a long time before he folded, and — at the urging of his rail — Wilson showed Ac4d for an ace-high bluff as he took the pot.

Brock Wilson  –  2,275,000  (57 bb)
Mark Zullo  –  1,885,000  (47 bb)

As you can see, that pot gave Wilson the chip lead for the first time in heads-up play.
