End of level 12 and players are enjoying their last break of the day.
Shortly before the break and on the last hand played at table 51 before it broke, Will ‘the Thrill’ Failla took a bite out of Duane Wallace’s big stack.
Picking up the action on the flop, the board read {as}{kh}{qc} and Will was all-in for 51,500. Duane tanked for a couple of minutes, then called. Will was holding the nuts with {Jd}{td} for Broadway. Duane was drawing slim with {ad}{9s} for top pair. He need two pefect runners to make a full house or chop.
When the {tc} came on the turn, Duane was drawing to only three outs for a chop — he needed a Jack on the river just to split the pot. The river was the {7d}, however, and Will doubled up to ~160,000.
Duane was still in good shape heading into the break with ~220,000.
