Monster Flop For Mash
Level 7
: 400/800, 800 ante
After defending champion Howard Mash raised to 1,700 in middle position, Yakashi Matsushita moved all-in on the button for 10,200.
Mash contemplated his options briefly then said he was going to gamble.
Yakashi Matsushita: 
Howard Mash: 
The 
flop brought Mash a ton of outs, and they kept coming with the 
on the turn. Matsushita would have to fade flush, straight and pair draws on the river, and somehow did just that with the 
on the river to preserve his ace-high and get a double-up.
