Wasserson Stays Alive
Level 13
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Action was picked up with Eric Wasserson all-in for his stack of 450,000, and Leonardo Rizzo putting him at risk
Eric Wasserson: K♥Q♠ 
Leonardo Rizzo: A♦7♣
It was a fair fight, but Wasserson would need to improve past the ace of Rizzo to stay in the tournament. He couldn't on the J♣2♠10♣ flop, but he did pick up extra outs with an open-ended straight draw. The 3♠ on the turn changed nothing, but the A♣ on the river gave Wasserson a Broadway straight, to secure the double up.
