Wernick Begins the Long Grind

Mickey Wernick, purportedly one the finest short stack grinders in the world, has just entered his comfort zone.

With 3,000 in the pot already, he checked to Remy Biechel on the river of an {A-Clubs} {5-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {5-Clubs} board. Biechel bet 2,000 -- he'd been the aggressor all the way down, so no surprises there. Eventually, Wernick called, and was horrified to see the Frenchman turn over {8-Clubs} {9-Clubs} for a flush plucked out of thin air. Sighing, Wernick turned over {A-Hearts} {8-Hearts}. "I was right," he rued, "I called your nothing down all the way..."
