A televised tank with aces on the bubble has put poker etiquette under the microscope heading into Thursday’s eight-handed finish.

Overview

  • With 10 left in the $25,000 WSOP Paradise Super Main Event, Terrance Reid raised, Eric Wasserson three-bet to 21,000,000 with pocket aces, and Benny Glaser shoved about 89.5 million with A-Q before Wasserson tank-called.
  • The board held for aces, eliminating Glaser in 10th place for $665,875 and moving the field to nine players with at least $850,000 locked up.
  • The hand aired on the official WSOP livestream, where commentators including Randy Lew and Ali Nejad questioned the delay before the call.
  • Glaser criticized the move as “not very classy” and referenced prior history with Wasserson, while Wasserson denied an intentional slowroll and cited the pay jump and a short stack elsewhere.
  • Wasserson advanced to the official final table of eight with 130,500,000 (fifth in chips) in a tournament playing for a reported $10 million first prize, with the finale set for Thursday at 12 p.m. ET.
