Wasserson Hits and Runs

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Felipe Ramos and Eric Wasserson both bought in at the dinner mark and had gotten their 25,000 in the middle on their first hand back. Both players were standing as they watched the dealer run out the cards.

Eric Wasserson: Q♠J♥ All in
Felipe Ramos: A♠3♦

The J♦7♣3♥ flop gave Wasserson a pair of jacks to take the lead as he complained. He started calling for Ramos to hit a three to beat him but the 5♦ turn and 6♣ river meant his jack was still good.

The dealer pushed the pot toward Wasserson's empty seat while he ran back to continue playing in the $10,000 GGMillions on the other side of the room.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Jonathan Jaffe jammed under the gun and Dietrich Fast asked for a count in the cutoff. After hearing it was 50,000, he announced all in as well, forcing the players behind him out of the pot.

"Jack-eight suited?" asked Jaffe, as they began to table their hands.

Jonathan Jaffe: A♣8♠ All in
Dietrich Fast: 9♠9♣

Fast stood up as the dealer fanned the 10♦5♥4♠ flop.

"This guy's standing, what's going on here?" Jaffe chuckled with confusion.

"I'm going to win this hand," Fast replied.

The dealer completed the board with the J♦ on the turn and the 10♠ on the river, sending Jaffe out the door.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Blaz Zerjav jammed for 38,000 under the gun and the action folded around to [Removed:491] who looked at his cards and snap called as he said, "I have aces."

Blaz Zerjav: A♥5♣ All in
[Removed:491]: A♠A♦

The Q♠10♠5♠8♦J♣ runout was no help for Zerjav and he exited the tournament room.

David Peters Gets There with "The Robbie"

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Chad Holloway

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Alisson Piekazewicz moved all in for 45,000 and David Peters, one of the many players to jump into the tournament last minute, called off for 17,000 from the small blind.

David Peters: J♦4♦ All in
Alisson Piekazewicz: Q♣J♠

Peters was dominated but he held jack-four, the hand made infamous by Robbi Jade Lew. The 10♠K♠7♦ flop didn't do Peters any favors, but the 4♠ turn did as he took the lead with a pair of fours.

Piekazewicz still had plenty of outs but the 3♣ river was not one of them. Ship the double to Peters.
