Level 12: Blinds 800/1,600/200 ante
They’re in the last level of play and only 16 remain, thanks again to Phil Wasserman.
Manny Minaya opened for 3,500, seat 3 called, Herbert Woodbery called, then Brett McCown shoved for 24,500 straight. Phil was on the button and said “40”, but was required to make the minimum raise, which was a little more. Didn’t matter, since it chased everyone else out of the pot.
Brett was ahead with pocket Aces. Phil had pocket Queens. The board ran out 6 3 2 7 Q and Phil caught his 2-outer on the river to take the pot and bust Brett. Phil is up to ~210k.
