No-Limit Hold'em

Action folded to Michael Wagner in the small blind who moved all in for 177,000. Brayden Gazlay quickly called in the big blind.

Michael Wagner: J?10? All in
Brayden Gazlay: A?10?

Wagner was dominated heading to the K?6?K? flop. The A? turn gave Gazlay two pair, while Wagner picked up a straight draw.

The river was the Q? and Wagner hit his straight to win the pot and double up.

"You're never taking off that Barcelona sweater again. You're going to wear it at every tournament," tablemate Amir Nematinia said about Wagner's 1992 Olympics sweater.
