Paul Wasicka gets miked up before the start of play
Paul Wasicka, last year's National Heads-Up Poker Champion, has just been eliminated from the tournament by last year's $50,000 WSOP H.O.R.S.E. champion Freddy Deeb.

Holding pocket tens, Wasicka led out with a smallish bet when the flop came 8-8-5 and Deeb made the call with A-J. The turn paired Deeb's jack and Wasicka open-shoved all in. Deeb made the call and the river blanked out, putting an end to potential back-to-back championships for Wasicka.
