Massman's Mountain Gets Chipped

Kevin Taylor

Alex Massman quickly amassed a giant stack of over 100,000 over the past hour, and when we walked to his table, we saw him in yet another big pot. The board was at the turn, reading {j-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {7-Spades} {9-Diamonds} . With about 9,000 in the pot, Massman's opponent checked, and Massman bet out 4,500. His opponent check raised to around 9,500, and Massman tossed in the call. The river brought the {2-Clubs} , and Massman's opponent bet out 8,000. Massman called, and mucked when his opponent showed {a-Clubs} {10-Clubs} , for a turned straight and rivered nut flush. Despite losing over 20,000 in the pot, Massman is still sitting on 103,000.
