Wasserson Scoops Cheung, Nearly Doubles
Level 13
: Limits 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante
Eric Wasserson: XxXx/8♥8♠8♦A♥/Xx
James Cheung: XxXx/6♦7♥9♣4♣/Xx
The action was caught when Eric Wasserson kindly requested his neighbour Mike Matusow to "shut the f*** up" when he was playing a hand against James Cheung on fourth street.
Fifth street then fell and Wasserson said: "Never mind, keep talking Mike," as he happily bet his trip eights. Cheung, however, was not going anywhere and made the call, as did he on sixth street.
On seventh, the action went check-check and Wasserson tabled A♠7♣4♥ for a full house. Cheung did not have a low as he mucked his hand, awarding the pot to Wasserson, who had only left himself one big bet behind on sixth street.
Meanwhile, David Lin was seen exiting the tournament area.
