Full Boat Sinks Barradas

  Wass (second from left) & Barradas (right) 
Have Drawn a Crowd

A pivotal hand gives Bob Wass (Wayside, NJ) a commanding chip lead over Nuno Barradas (Faro, Portugal).

On a board of 4 7 5♣ Q♣ 4♠ Barradas checks the river.

Wass bets 200k
Barradas raises to 600k
Wass moves all in for 925k total
Barradas calls

Wass: 5 5 (full house)
Barradas A 4♣ (trip 4s)

The river 4♠ is a terrible card for Barradas whose trip 4s gives Wass a full house after flopping a set of 5s.

Wass now has 2.2 million of the 2.4 million chips in play.  He began heads up play as 2.5 to 1 underdog.
