Well Hello There, Mr. Wasicka!
Paul Wasicka was today's mystery man. At the beginning of the day we didn't have his chip count and after some tables broke we weren't able to locate him anymore. Common sense taught us he had busted, but boy were we wrong!
The runner-up from the 2006 WSOP Main Event, who banked over six million dollars for being the last player to hold up before falling to Jamie Gold, has been on a tear today and just got pretty lucky in order to move himself up to a top chip position. "Wow", is what Wasicka just said after he busted a very frustrated player who rushed away from the table and almost knocked his chair into that of opposing table. This is how it all went down.
Paul Wasicka raised to 8,000 from the hijack and the player on the button decided to three-bet him to 16,500. After both blinds folded it was back on Wasicka who put his opponent all in for around 112,000 total. The player on the button had a very tough decision so it seemed, as he took well over five minutes before he apologizing to his table mates and making the call.
