Wasek Dips, Doubles Back Up

John Juanda raised and Artur Wasek called in the big blind to see a {k-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{8-Hearts} flop. Wasek checked, Juanda bet 335,000, and Wasek called.

They saw a turn - the {8-Spades} - and Wasek checked again. Juanda bet 575,000 this time, and Wasek folded.

As EPT Live commentator William Reynolds said, "He needs to develop a new strategy that is not calling out of position and then calling again and then folding."

And indeed, just a hand or two later, and Wasek found a new strategy - waking up with a premium hand.

Tom Marchese raised, and Wasek shoved from the small blind. Marchese snap-called, and the cards were on their backs.

Marchese: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Wasek: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}

Board: {7-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

Wasek doubled back up to around 2.4 million.
