Wasserson Bricks Everything; Fires Again
On a heads-up board of K♣J♥8♦2♣, Eric Wasserson bet the pot for 59,000 and then Artem Babakhanyan moved all in for more. Wasserson quickly made the call to put him at risk and the cards were tabled.
Artem Babakhanyan: A♥K♠J♣5♥
Eric Wasserson: K♥Q♣10♥9♣
Babakhanyan was technically ahead with his top two-pair but Wasserson had a monster hand with his wrap and flush combo draw.
Unfortunately for Wasserson, the river came the brick 6♥ and Babakhanyan scooped the massive pot while Wasserson was left on crumbs, shaking his head.
Wasserson then got it all in against Yashuo Chin the very next hand, and although they both held similar hands of pocket queens with an ace, Chin hit a flush to knock him out. He has since fired a second bullet and is back in the mix.
