Weissman Gets There on the River
Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Justin Filtz raised to 120,000 in early position, then watched WSOP bracelet winner Joey Weissman call on the button.
The dealer fanned K♠A♣Q♦ on the flop, which both players checked. The 3♠ provided some action, as Filtz led out 150,000, which Weissman called.
The river saw J♦ and fireworks. Filtz checked, then watched Weissman go in the tank. Weissman took his time before counting out 500,000 off to the side of his chips. Then, he stacked the chips and cut out 475,000 before moving them forward as a bet.
Filtz snap called, then saw in dismay that Weissman tabled A♥J♦ for the nut straight.
“Nice river,” Filtz deadpanned as he watched the dealer push the pot to Weissman.
