Wasicka Doubles Up

With blinds at both of the remaining tables now up to 2,000 and 4,000, the action is picking up. Paul Wasicka was all in pre-flop as the short stack against Annie Duke. Wasicka was also behind in the hand, tabling {A-Clubs} {10-Hearts} against Duke's {J-Clubs} {J-Spades}.

Wasicka has a large contingent of family supporting him from the rail, and they were thrilled to see an ace flop, {A-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} {7-Hearts}. That ace proved decisive after a turn of {7-Spades} and a river of {2-Hearts}. Wasicka doubled up, allowing his match with Duke to continue.

Duke could only offer a tight-lipped smile after the hand.
