Wilkie Rides a Roller Coaster To Double

Level 23
: 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Steve Wilkie open-limped on the button and Justin Liberto raised to 125,000 in the small blind. Wilkie came over the top, shoving for exactly 500,000 and Liberto called.

Justin Liberto:
Wilkie was way out in front going to the flop, which came and brought chop outs on board. An even worse scenario came for Wilkie on the turn
, resulting in him standing up in disbelief. Then, a miracle
came on the river, causing Wilkie to take one step over and hug the dealer, thanking him in the process for keeping him alive.
