Mas Goes on a Roller Coaster of Emotions on His Way to a Double
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Umberto Ruggeri raised to 30,000 under the gun before Jack Kiriakus three-bet to 105,000 in middle position. Oscar Mas then moved all in for 370,000 in the small blind, Ruggeri folded, while Kiriakus paused for a moment before calling.
Oscar Mas: A♣A♠ 
Jack Kiriakus: K♥K♣
"I almost folded," Kiriakus said upon finding out he had run his kings into Mas' aces. The flop came J♣10♠J♦, but the K♦ fell on the turn to give Kiriakus a full house as he let out a big fist pump.
The river, though, was the A♥ and Mas made his own full house to win the pot and double up. Kiriakus asked the dealer if he could take a picture of the board before handing over his chips. Ruggeri then admitted he had folded a king preflop.
