Wasserson Gets Caught Bluffing
Level 20
: Blinds 0/0, 15,000 ante
Both Eric Wasserson and Ivan Ermin limped in before Hong Wei Yu made it 105,000 to go on the button. Wasserson and Ermin made the call and the trio saw a flop of J♦9♠8♣.
All three players checked their options to the J♣ turn. Wasserson led out for 80,000 and only Ermin came along. The 10♦ hit the river and Wasserson took close to 30 seconds before sliding out a bet of 180,000. Ermin quickly called and Wasserson tabled A♣6♣ for the ace-high bluff.
Ermin rolled over Q♠J♠ for a queen-high straight to scoop the sizable pot.
