Quads for Wasserson to Leave Ivey Short
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
On a flop of J♥2♥2♣, Eric Wasserson from the small blind and Phil Ivey in the cutoff got all their chips into the middle, with Wasserson as the effective stack for 160,000 total.
Eric Wasserson: A♦10♥7♥2♦
Phil Ivey: A♥Q♥8♥3x
Wasserson had flopped trips against the flush draw of Ivey. The J♣ turn meant that no low could come, and the 2♠ river improved Wasserson to quad twos for the double, leaving Ivey with 45,000
Tablemate Scott Seiver could be overheard complaining, "He shows up, plays one hand, and makes quads."
At an adjacent table, Nick Schulman added, "Never run like Wass."
Shortly after, Ivey was eliminated.
