Collard Nears Three Million
Level 23
: 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Dwane Collard raised to 65,000 in middle position and action folded around to Steve Wilkie in the big blind, who defended. The flop came 
and Wilkie checked to Collard, who continuation-bet 55,000. Wilkie called.
Wilkie checked again on the turn 
and Collard fired a second barrel of 150,000. Wilkie called again and both players checked the river 
to take the hand to showdown.
Wilkie tabled 
for a pair of tens and Collars showed 
, earning the pot with his pair of queens.
