Weisman won the Poker Masters tournament, coming back from 0.25 BB
The sixth tournament of the Poker Masters series — $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em — was marked by one of the most incredible comebacks in PokerGO Tour history. Its hero was two-time WSOP Online bracelet winner Justin Weissman.
At the 5-max stage, Weissman lost a hand to Sean Winter and was left with 20,000 chips at blinds of 40,000/80,000. It seemed Justin was about to bust, but on the very next hand he managed to build his stack up to 140,000. And that was only the first part of his comeback.
Soon he doubled up twice through Anthony Gregg. Then at 4-max, Weissman won a three-way all-in against Winter and Brandon Wilson, making a straight with A♣️9♣️ on a 5♦️8♥️6♣️7♣️7♦️ board. Shortly after that, Wilson headed to the rail, followed by Octopi Poker co-founder Victoria Livschitz.
Heads-up, Weissman faced Winter once again. At the start, Justin had just 19 big blinds against Sean's 61 BB. What's more, Winter quickly cut his opponent's stack down to 9 blinds. But there was no stopping Weissman by then. He won a key all-in with K♥️6♣️ against 10♥️6♦️ and seized the lead.
Two hands later, Justin sealed the victory. Winter jammed with J♦️3♦️ on a 10♦️9♦️7♣️K♥️ turn, Weissman instantly called with 10♠️9♥️ and caught the 10♥️ on the river, filling up his full house. Weissman took home $192,000, the third-largest payday of his career. Winter earned $124,800 for second place.
