Wasnock Fades Disaster

Connor Richards

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♥ All in
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.

Level 17 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Juan Pardo opened from under the gun with a raise to 160,000, which was called by Dennys Ramos in the cutoff. It then folded to the big blind Anton Mamaev, who three-bet to 775,000.

Pardo responded with a four-bet all-in for his stack of 3,700,000. That got Ramos to muck, and Mamaev went into the tank. After using two-time extensions, Mamaev folded A♣K♥ face up, to give the pot to Pardo.

David Benyamine opened to 175,000 on the button and Daniel Zack three-bet jammed a stack of around 500,000 in the big blind. Benyamine called.

Daniel Zack: A♣K♣ All in
David Benyamine: 7♣5♣

Zack had Benyamine's clubs covered, but it mattered little as the board ran out 4♠10♠8♥9♠5♥ to mark his elimination as the towering Frenchman made a pair of fives.

The runout of 5♠10♣K♣2♦9♥ fell Gavin-Mather's way, and she took the pot with a pair of kings. The 2025 WSOP Monster Stack bracelet winner took the walk to the rail, about 20 spots short of the money.

Level 16 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

In a three-way pot on a board of 9♦8♥5♥, Jean-Noel Thorel bet 300,000 and Felix Rabas called before Andreas Christoforou raised to 800,000 on the button. Thorel folded and Rabas called.

Both players checked on the 8♠ turn and again on the Q♠ river. Rabas showed A♥K♣ for just ace-high as Christoforou tabled 4♠4♣ to win the pot with a pair of fours.

Level 16 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Matthias Eibinger was all-in for 105,000 from early position. Darius Samual called blind from the big blind.

Eibinger tabled K♦6♠, and saw Samuel first turn over the 7♣, followed by the 2♥. Samual whiffed the 9♥5♠3♠4♠10♣ runout and Eibinger doubled.

Eibinger picked up the blinds on the following deal, with his shove getting through.

The hand after, Brandon Adams jammed for 2,900,000 and folded out the table. Samuel then did the same next for 1,535,000, and once again, there were no takers.
