Joey Weissman opened to 130,000 with and Michael Wang three-bet to 350,000 on the button holding .
Weissman laid it down, despite commentator Jamie Kerstetter noting that "you would have to wrestle ace-five suited from my cold, dead hands this deep."
"Have you ever folded that hand in your life?" asked co-commentator Jeff Platt.
"No, but that's why I have no money," laughed Kerstetter.
