A Bad Beat Bailout
Level 18
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Steve Webb had opened with a raise from early position and Derek McMaster, who this past summer won a WSOP gold bracelet, three-bet all in for 88,500 from the small blind. Webb called and the hands were turned up.
Steve Webb: 
Derek McMaster: 
The 
flop gave Webb a set and it looked as if McMaster would be the bubble boy. However, the 
turn gave him some added straight outs, and the 
river completed the said straight to give McMaster new life.
