McMaster Escapes From Elimination
Level 15
: 10,000/20,000, 0 ante
Derek McMaster chopped with 
against the 
of Mike Matusow when his flopped set of eights could not secure the double, as Matusow turned a flush and dodged a paired board.
Soon after, McMaster raised with 1,000 behind and Gary Bolden called in the big blind. The remaining chip went in after the 
flop and McMaster turned over 
. Bolden only held 
and the 
turn and 
river were no threat for McMaster.
