Nobuaki Sasaki Eliminated in 6th Place
Level 16
: Blinds 0/0, 6,000 ante
Martin Nielsen opened to 70,000 from the cutoff and was called by Nobuaki Sasaki under-the-gun and Eric Wasserson in middle position.
The flop came out J♥K♠8♦ and Sasaki lead-jammed for 237,000. After the count was established, Wasserson made the call and Nielsen folded after some thought.
"Good fold," Wasserson said to Nielsen as he tabled J♣J♦ for bottom set while Sasaki flipped over K♦Q♠ for top pair.
The turn 7♣ left Sasaki drawing dead and the Q♦ completed the board for Wasserson to scoop the pot while Sasaki was eliminated in sixth place.
