Wang Three-Bets Weissman

Level 24 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Joey Weissman opened to 130,000 with {a-Spades}{5-Spades} and Michael Wang three-bet to 350,000 on the button holding {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}.

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.
