Big Sweat for Ermin

Level 17 : Blinds 0/0, 8,000 ante

After two limps, Ivan Ermin moved all in from the cutoff and Martin Nielsen made the call from under the gun to put him at risk.

Ivan Ermin: A?K?
Martin Nielsen: A?K?

In most situations, the players will chop this hand up, but the flop of 8?6?Q? gave Nielsen a freeroll as he had nut backdoor spade outs.

The turn J? gave him a full-on flush draw and Ermin had to sweat the river to avoid a spade but luckily for him, it came the J? and they chopped it up.

"Hey, I think you made 16,000," Eric Wasserson chimed in as they took their bets back.

Big Draw No Good

Level 17 : Blinds 0/0, 8,000 ante

On a heads-up flop of 6?Q?K?, Eric Wasserson checked to Hong Wei Yu who bet 85,000. Wasserson made the call and the two went to the turn 10?.

Both players decided to check and saw the river fall the Q?. Wasserson checked once more and Yu fired for 160,000.

"Ahhh, was a big turn for me, too," Wasserson sighed as he tossed K?J? into the muck to award Yu the pot.

Eric Wasserson
Eric Wasserson

Eric Wasserson limped in from under the gun and Ivan Ermin raised to 65,000 next to act. The rest of the table got out of the way and Wasserson made the call.

The flop came K?Q?Q? and Wasserson check-called a bet of 38,000 from Ermin. On the K? turn both players checked to the 6? river.

Wasserson took the lead with a bet of 60,000 and Ermin went deep in the tank. After using a time bank card, Ermin let it go and the pot was sent to Wasserson without showdown.

John Juanda Eliminated in 5th Place ($62,793)

Level 16 : Blinds 0/0, 6,000 ante
John Juanda
John Juanda

John Juanda open-shoved under the gun and then Eric Wasserson moved all in behind him for much more. The other players quickly got out of the way and the cards were tabled.

John Juanda: Q?10?
Eric Wasserson: A?K?

"Uh oh," Juanda chuckled as he realized what he was up against.

The flop came A?9?8? to give Wasserson top pair, but it also gave Juanda an inside straight draw to a jack.

Unfortunately for him, the board ran out 8?9? and the poker Hall of Famer was eliminated in fifth place. He stood up and shook everyone's hand and wished them the best of luck before he made his way to the payout desk.

Ermin Takes First Pot of The Day

Level 16 : Blinds 0/0, 6,000 ante

Hong Wei Yu limped from under the gun and John Juanda made the call in middle position. Ivan Ermin checked his option on the button and the flop fanned out A?10?8?.

Yu led out for 35,000 and both Juanda and Ermin called. The 10? hit the turn and all three players checked to the Q? river. Yu checked and Juanda sized to 65,000. Ermin made the call and Yu got out of the way.

Juanda tabled J?9? for a queen-high straight, but was no good when Ermin rolled over K?J? for the king-high straight to scoop the first pot.
