So there has been already 40,000 within the middle by the point the T♣Q♣T♠ flop connected rather nicely with both their hands. The chips all went in at the flop with Wilkes having around 110,000 in total.
Whilst Wilkes was behind he had without equal draw, unfortunately there has been to be no fairytale end to Wilkes first within the money finish at the UKIPT as he missed his royal flush draw at the 7♦ turn and 5♠ river.
