Josh Wasserman (Deerfield Beach, FL)

Tom Gity (Pompano Beach, FL) was having a day that all tournament players dread...when most all of the critical situations played out in his opponents advantage.  Gity watched as players hit gut-shot outs on three separate occasions against the absolute top of his range.

After four players called a 2,000 raise, Gity would shove for 7,875 in turn, and watch as action folded around to Josh Wasserman.  Without nobody left to act behind him, Wasserman would ask for an exact count, and eventually toss the chips into the pot (signifying a call).  Gity would first turn over A♠ J♥, and wait to see that he would be in a raise against the 8♥ 8♣ of Wasserman.  The dealer collected the pot in the middle of the table, and ran out a board of 3♠ 7♠ K♣ 4♥ 10♥.  Tom was standing and collecting his things even before the river was placed down on the table, seemingly accepting the fate that assumed destined.  Gity wished his tablemates "good luck," and exited the tournament area for the night, while Wasserman chipped up to close to 45,000.
