Level 13 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Michael Fenwick
Michael Fenwick

Matthew Mullins raised to 7,000 under the gun, before Michael Fenwick three-bet to 19,000. Then Dustin Wills went all in for 17,500. It folded back to Mullins, and he folded to leave the two players heads up, with Wills at risk.

Dustin Wills: 1010 All in
Michael Fenwick: 99

Wills was in great shape to get more than a double up, but when the board ran out A389K Fenwick turned a set of nines, which eliminated Wills from the tournament.
