Wazwaz Ends Herstein's Day

Brandon Temple

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Gary Herstein jammed for 16,500 from the cutoff, and Rob Wazwaz three-bet to 31,000 in the small blind, chasing out Frank Cerminara in the big blind.

Gary Herstein:
Rob Wazwaz:

Both players found a pair on the flop, but Wazwaz's pair of aces held on the turn and river.

"Good luck," Herstein said before he left the table, and Wazwaz nodded and said, "I'm sure we'll see ya on Sunday, Gar," referencing tomorrow's remaining Day 1b flight that Herstein is expected to fire.
