Alex Jacob Nets Qwickfish

Paul "Qwickfish" Wasicka makes it 1,800 preflop in the cutoff. Alex Jacob re-raises to 3,800 in the small blind. Wasicka re-re-raises to 8,800 and Alex Jacob shoves a very big stack all in. Wasicka calls his last 18,000 and Jacob takes a bunch back. Wasicka has {A-Spades}{K-Hearts} and Jacob has 10-10. The flop offers some hope with K-3-5. The turn is J, and the river is the case 10 to eliminate Paul Wasicka. Jacob is at 50,000.

A Witness to History

Playing in today's field is John Strzemp, whom a decade ago had a ringside seat to WSOP history.

Back in 1997, Strzemp was President of Treasure Island and found himself at the WSOP Main Event final table playing heads-up for the title with Stu Ungar. Strzemp finished second that year, and Ungar won his third WSOP Main Event title.

Today, Strzemp is the CFO of the Wynn Hotel. He currently has 11,500 in chips.
