Wasnock Fades Disaster
Level 17
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
There was an early position open to 160,000 and John Wasnock three-bet jammed a stack of around 2,000,000 from the next seat. Juan Pardo called in the small blind and the initial raiser got out of the way.
John Wasnock: A♥K♥ 
Juan Pardo: A♣K♣
Both players had the same hand and the flop of 8♦3♣3♦ was innocent enough. However, the 5♣ turn gave Pardo a flush draw, but the 5♠ river then bricked off to avoid a disaster for the 2025 Main Event runner-up.
