Wazwaz Wins a Race

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Rob Wazwaz three-bet to 12,000 from the button after a player raised to 5,500 in an early position. The opener shipped for about 45,000, and Wazwaz quickly called.

"Good luck," Wazwaz said upon seeing his opponent's {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}, indicating it was a race. Indeed, Wazwaz flipped {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}.

A community of {4-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{a-Hearts} meant Wazwaz locked it up on the river with a pair of aces. After the hand, he proclaimed that he knew he would get there. A player asked how he knew, and Wazwaz was vague.

"I have my reasons," he said cryptically.

At another table, Bill Criego went bust.
