The Day 1A Chip Leader is Out
Level 15: 1,500-3,000, 500 ante
David Breitfuss was a superstar on Day 1A. He had all of the chips and all of the adulation, but his exit on Day 3 means he won't even get paid.
Benjamin Wilinofsky makes a standard open, Anton Wigg makes the call before Breitfuss moves all-in. Wilinofsky calls, Wigg folds and Wilinofsky has Brietfuss dominated.
Wilinofsky: Qx Qx
Breitfuss: Kx Qx
The board is kingless, straightless and flushless handing Wilinofsky the pot.
Wilinofsky ~ 250,000
