Big River for Wasserson
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Over 700,000 was already in the middle on the board that read 8♦10♥8♣K♣J♦ when Eric Wasserson put out a big bet of 800,000 from the big blind position.
Baoqiang Ho went into the tank, giving it considerable thought before he chose to call.
Ho showed 9♠8♠ for flopped trips, but Wasserson revealed that the river was a consequential one as he showed Q♣9♣ for a straight.
The pot sent Wasserson over the 2.5-million chip mark, while Ho sank below 500,000.
