Massey Gets There

[user75311]

Jacob Bazely raised his button to 85,000 and Aaron Massey moved all in for 1,235,000. Robert Castoire folded his big blind and Bazely told Massey that he had raised having only looked at one card. He took a peek at the other and immediately made the call.

Bazely: {a-Diamonds} {q-Spades}
Massey: {a-Clubs} {7-Clubs}

The flop was {4-Diamonds} {k-Clubs} {2-Clubs} giving Massey additional flush outs. The turn was the {2-Diamonds} and now he could split the pot if the board paired again. The {q-Clubs} river shipped him the whole thing though when he completed his flush.

Bazely and Massey have seemed to develop a mutual respect for each others game, even going over strategy of previous hands while others are being dealt. About this hand Massey asked, "I think I have to ship with 30 big [blinds] there. What am I supposed to do, three-bet-call?"
