Smith Scoops as Wasserson Misreads Hand
Level 8
: Limits 2,500/5,000, 0 ante
The action was caught four-way on a 7♦10♠9♣A♦ turn. Jeffery Stepaniuk and Eric Wasserson checked from the blinds before Ed Smith tossed in a bet under the gun.
Robert Yass called on the button, as did Stepaniuk and Wasserson. The 8♠ hit the river, and Wasserson led out with a bet after Stepaniuk had checked. Smith called while the other two players mucked their hands.
"Straight," Wasserson enthusiastically declared, before he stated, "Oh no, I misread my hand."
Smith then tabled A♣10♦6♠3♦ for a straight to the ten and a low, and Wasserson gave up on the pot as he mucked his hand.
