Wasicka Doubles Through Thomas
Paul Wasicka, the man who finished second in the 2006 World Series of Poker Main Event (the one that Jamie Gold won) has been nursing a short stack since we came back from dinner break, but that short-stack has doubled in size thanks to the following hand.
Travell Thomas opened to 12,000 from late position and Wasicka three-bet all in for 43,500 chips. Thomas instantly called and turned over 
to find he was in a coinflip with Wasicka's 
.
"Ship it," said Thomas as the dealer burned a card and put the first three community cards into play. They read 
improving Wasicka to a pair of jacks. The 
landed on the turn and Thomas said," I've got this, I've got this," implying he was confident in catching a straight on the river. That didn't happen because the river was the 
and with that Wasicka doubled up.
