Wasserson Five-Bet Jams
Level 2
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Gha Iakobishvili raised to 2,500 from under the gun, which Philip Sternheimer called on the button. Eric Wasserson then three-bet to 15,000 from the big blind. Iakobishvili responded with a four-bet to 35,000, and Sternheimer folded. Wasserson then five-bet all-in for 215,000, and Iakobishvili called.
Eric Wasserson: A♠3♠
Gha Iakobishvili: A♥K♥
Both players made the same two pair on the 9♦9♣7♠A♣4♥ board, but with Iakobishvili's kicker holding strong, Wasserson was eliminated.
