Championship: Every Move Counts

$3300 + $200 Championship Deep Stack Double Play NLH (Re-Entry)

Level 12: Blinds 600/1,200/200 ante 

Lemke & Wisiak

Long levels, deep stacks and nearly $3.8 million in the prize pool means every Day 2 decision is carefully considered.

On table 4, Borgata trophy holder and WSOP bracelet winner Brian Lemke (Norristown, PA) and Bobby "Wiz" Wisiak (Freash Meadows, NY) tread lightly in a recent pot.

Lemke (UTG) raises preflop to 3k with Wisak and third player coming along.

Flop: 7♥ A♠ 2♥

Lemke c-bets to 4,200, Wisak reraises to 8,500, the third player gets out of the way, Lemke calls.

Turn: 3♠

Lemke check-calls a 10,200 bet.

River: 8♣

Both players check the river and Lemke tables AJ with Wisiak saying, "smaller Ace," while tossing his hand into the muck.  "I knew I couldn't get you off the hand."

Each decision was made with caution as the pursuit continues with Lemke up to 225k (188 bb), while Wisak drops to 95k (59 bb).
