Wasserman Wins a Flip to Stay Alive
Level 7
: 300/500, 500 ante
A player raised to 1,300 from early position and a player called from the hijack. The action got to Michael Wasserman in the big blind and he three-bet to 5,300. The original raiser moved all in, the hijack folded and Wasserman called it off for his last 26,200.
Michael Wasserman: 
Opponent: 
Things were looking good for Wasserman as there was a jack in the window when the flop came 
. But Wasserman now needed to fade a queen or diamond headed to the turn and river.
The 
turn changed nothing and the 
river gave Wasserman's opponent a flush. However, the river also improved Wasserman to a full house and he was able to get the double up.
