Ilich Takes The Lead

Drazen Ilich opened to what looked to be 51,000 in the cutoff and Jamil Wakil defended his big blind.
The flop came down and Wakil led out with a bet of 80,000. A call from Ilich landed the
turn which Wakil checked. Ilich bet 190,000, Wakil called, and the
completed the board. A check from Wakil sent Ilich into the tank for a bit before he fired a whopping 520,000 on the river.
Wakil spent even more time in the tank, but emerged with a call. Ilich tabled for the absolute nuts, while Wakil mucked and saw his chip lead go over to Ilich.
