Wasenius Hero-Calls Leader
Level 23
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Ole Wasenius was under the gun and elected to raise to 120,000. It folded to chipleader Guillermo Gordo in the big blind, who defended.
Wasenius continued for 100,000 on the 5♥2♣Q♠ flop, and Gordo check-called. Both players checked the 10♣ turn, after which the 4♠ arrived on the river.
Gordo led out for a bet of 385,000. Wasenius assembled calling chips and, after about 30 seconds of thought, put them in the middle.
Gordo could only show jack-high with his J♠9♠, meaning Wasenius had read the situation correctly and won the pot with his 8♥8♦.
