Paul Wasicka Goes Incognito

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Professional Paul Wasicka, who you may remember as the runner-up at the 2006 WSOP Main Event and the winner of the 2007 NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship, just missed his draw but still managed to take a major pot from fellow pro Dan Kelly.

With the board reading {7-Spades}{a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{10-Spades} and the action on him to act first, Wasicka shoved for his last 14,900 and waited as Kelly ran through his calculations. After thinking it over for a minute or so, Kelly decided to look him up, but his cards went into the muck when Wasicka rolled over {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs} for a runner-runner straight. He had been drawing on a flush, but when the turn and river came perfect-perfect, Wasicka ended up with a well disguised straight, and a double through an especially dangerous opponent.
