| John Vasser (Coral Springs, FL) didn't think he could flop two sets in a row, and ended up costing himself a few chips. |
John Vasser (Coral Springs, FL) would open the action at Table 1 with a raise to 6,000, and watch players folded around to Alan Saltzman in late position. Saltzman three-bet shoved for over 37,000, making the decision for the button and blinds pretty easy. The three players released their hands, and Vasser quickly made the call. Vasser was flipping with 7♥ 7♣ for his tournament life, against the A♠ J♥ of Saltzman, but quickly grabbed a huge lead on the 8♠ 6♣ 7♦ flop. The turn and river ran out clean for Vasser, who ended up doubling to 52,000 (just below chip average).
The very next hand, Saltzman was all-in for his remaining 10,000, with Glenn Popkin re-shoving for close to 28,000. With action on Vasser once again, he would say to his opponents, "do you think I can do it again?" The dealer quickly stopped any table conversation in the multi-way pot, with John eventually folding what he said was pocket sevens. He would have flopped at set once again, and potentially chipped up to 90,000...but chose the "same hand can't win" route.
John Vasser - 52,500
