Masek Gets a Sweat
![[user66118]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Alexandru Masek is the only player left who can catch Mstr Lynch for the title of Casino Champion at this stop, needing to finish fifth place or better to claim the $10,000 freeroll entry. Lynch has been lurking along the rail for the last couple of hours, sweating his potentially million dollars in equity.
Moments ago, Lynch got the sweat he wanted. Facing a raise from Michael Simon in front of him, Masek shoved all in for an additional 110,000, and Simon quickly made the call with the covering stack. It was a flip for Masek (and Lynch).
Showdown
Simon: 
Masek: 
Masek didn't bother to stand up to sweat his fate, because Lynch was doing enough sweating for two people. The 
flop was a miss for Masek, and Lynch leaned a bit further over the rail as his grin widened. On the turn the 
drew another lean-in from Lynch as Masek was now one card from elimination.
River: 
Masek finds his pair to save his tournament life and his hopes of earning the Casino Champion crown. For him, it means he's back to 280,000. For us, it means we've still got some poker to play. For Lynch, there's still a lot more sweating to do.
