Nielsen Finds Miracle Runout To Double Off Wasserson
Level 20
: Blinds 0/0, 15,000 ante
In a heads-up pot with 120,000 in the middle on a flop showing A♣Q♥8♠, Martin Nielsen bet 60,000 from early position and Eric Wasserson raised to 200,000 from the cutoff. Nielsen took a few seconds before announcing all in for 1,200,000 and Wasserson snap-called.
Martin Nielsen: A♠9♦
Eric Wasserson: 8♥8♦
Wasserson flopped a set and had Nielsen in rough shape with his top pair. The turn fell the 7♦ and Nielsen picked up a straight draw. The river peeled off the 6♠ and the straight got there for Nielsen to score a massive double up off Wasserson and leave him short.
