Assante Makes Great Call; Doubles Huge Through Wexler
Level 21
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
The board read 
and there was roughly 100,000 already in the middle. Michael Assante fired 60,000 into the middle and Jonas Wexler announced that he was all in. This was a bet for Assante's life.
Assante took a moment, took what looked to be a deep breath, and announced a call. Wexler quickly showed 
for merely a flush draw and Assante made the correct read- tabling his 
. He still needed to dodge a heart on the river and he did exactly that as the 
fell and he was able to double huge up to about 985,000. Wexler, the one time massive chip lead, has now fallen to about 590,000 in chips.
