Wusstig Takes a Pot Off of The Defending Champion
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Action was picked up in a pot between four players on the flop with Rudy Wusstig on the button, Jaqcui Newman in the big blind, Gregory Naaden in the hijack and defending champion Stacey Berger in the cutoff.
The flop rolled off 10♣Q♥3♠ and the pot contained 1,200. Action checked around to Wusstig who bet 1,200 which Newman and Berger called.
The turn of 3♥ saw action check to Wusstig again who sized down to 1,200 which only Berger called. The river Q♦ saw both players check.
"I missed," said Berger who turned over K♦J♥ for a missed straight draw, Wusstig turned over K♥10♥ for queens and tens and was awarded the pot.
At another table, Joshua Prager entered the field.
