Isle Classic Event #18 (Flight 1A): Wasser Makes James Wang A Believer, But Ends Up The Loser

2017 Isle Classic | Event #18

Level 10 (Blinds 500/1,000/100)

Yue-Jian Wang (Boca Raton, FL) is looking to bag chips for Day 2, and earn his second cash of the series.

Walking through the field, a hand would be unfolding at Table 10, between James Wang and Moshe Wasser.  The two were on the turn of a board reading Q J♣ 6♣ 7♠, with Wasser having just gone all-in for 36,000.  With already 24,000 in the pot, Wang (who held 23,000) was not so quick to release his hand, and ended up making the call after about a minute.  James wasn't happy when he saw Wasser turn over J 6, well ahead of his Q 10.  

"I just didn't think you had two pair in that spot," Wang said to Wasser, as he began to stand from his seat.  The dealer than placed down the 7 on the river, pairing the board, and counterfeiting Moshe's two-pair.  James lifted his hands in celebration, as he watched the collect the chips from Wasser to match his stack.

James Wang - 70,000 (70bb)
Moshe Wasser - 13,000 (13bb)
