Masek Given False Hope, Then Crippled

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Alex Masek moved all in from early position, and a player called from the small blind.

Masek: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Small blind: {a-Spades}{4-Spades}

Things looked very rosy for Masek when the flop came {9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{k-Clubs}, giving Masek a flush draw. A turn of {8-Spades} opened up some chopping possibilities for his opponent, and a {k-Hearts} river shipped him the chop.

A short time later, he moved all in again and was called once again.

Masek: {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
Opponent: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

The board ran out {6-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{q-Spades}{j-Diamonds}, and six-time World Series of Poker Circuit winner Masek was eliminated.
