Wasicka Lives to See Another Flop

Things were looking pretty grim for Paul Wasicka. He moved all in as the short stack with {K-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} and was called by qualifier Nicholas Joy, who tabled {A-Hearts} {3-Spades}. Wasicka was the underdog and needed to improve to avoid elimination. He did so on a flop of {5-?} {7-?} {8-?}. The {2-?} that hit the turn gave Joy a few additional outs, but Wasicka breathed a sigh of relief when the river fell {9-Hearts}, missing Joy entirely.

For now, their match will continue.
