Blake Whittington Continues To Climb
Prior to the last break, Blake Whittington picked up a decent pot to move himself over double the starting stack and a few levels later, he's now trending towards the top of the Flight A leaderboard. With the board showing , Whittington fires out a nearly pot-sized bet of 8,500. His opponent, who has close to 18,000 in front of her, thinks for a minute and counts her stack before pushing her remaining chips into the middle.
Whittington raises his eyebrows in suspicion and after a few moments, verbalizes "call". His opponent turns to him and says, "Just a three," turning over only to see Whittington table . "Thought you were making a move." she says before standing from the table. As she departs, the dealer pushes Whittington another sizable pot, one that puts him in contention for the current Flight A chip lead.
