UTG, Steven O’Toole limped the 800 required. Shaun Woodford called from the Lo-jack. Before big-stacked Michael Stanley made it 2,600 from the Hi-jack. Gareth Williams (Button), O’Toole, and Woodford all made the call.

Action was checked to Stanley on the J92 flop, and he continued for 2,600. Williams was the only player who made the call, and the dealer presented the 5 on the turn. Stanley didn’t slow down; he fired a 10,000 bet, and Williams made the call as fast.

Stanley didn’t seem to be concerned that the 6 river completed an eventual flush draw; fast and deliberate, he bet 15,000, and Williams was visibly agonized. After twisting and turning for a minute or two in his chair, he made the call.

Much to his displeasure, Stanley turned over AJ, which appeared to be enough. Being a good sport, Williams congratulated his opponent on a “nice hand”.

Michael Stanley: 251,000
Gareth Williams: 45,500
