Cortum Plays for Stacks
Level 8
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Rob Wazwaz had raised to 2,000 after an early position limp and picked up a caller before action was on Rob Wazwaz in the big blind. He decided to reraise to 11,000.
Action folded back to Cortum who moved all in for 22,200. Back on Wazwaz, he started to talk.
"Well played sir, I didn't think you were that strong," said Wazwaz. "You're way ahead, I just have an ace," and he made the call to put Cortum at risk.
Kelly Cortum: 
Rob Wazwaz: 
Cortum was in good shape, and stayed that way on the 
, leaving Wazwaz drawing very thin. However. the devastating 
hit the turn to reverse the odds. Drama wasn't over, though, as the miracle 
hit the river to bring Cortum back into the lead with a better full house.
