Masino Survives the Bubble
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
In the early stages of hand-for-hand play, Vincent Masino was all-in from early position and was called by a player with a covering stack in the big blind.
Vincent Masino: A?J?
Big Blind Player: A?6?
Masino had the dominant ace heading into the 5?K?Q? flop, but the board would pair on the Q? turn, giving the big blind player some life in the form of chop outs.
However, the 2? on the river would lock up the double for Masino to survive the bubble.
