Smith Scoops as Wasserson Misreads Hand

Level 8 : Limits 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

The action was caught four-way on a 7109A 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 A1063 for a straight to the ten and a low, and Wasserson gave up on the pot as he mucked his hand.
