McMaster Heads Out as Tourevski Makes a Straight
Level 6
Derek McMaster, the 2019 champion of this event, was all in from early position and got three callers, including Joe Serock in middle position and Evgeni Tourevski in the big blind.
As WSOP VP Jack Effel stopped by to chat with tablemate Sam Farha, the four players saw a flop of 9♥3♥10♠ where Serock bet and was called by both Tourevski and a player in the hijack.
The turn came the J♦ and Tourevski led out with a bet. Serock folded but the hijack called. Tourevski bet again on the 5♠ river and the hijack again called.
Tourevski turned over K♥2♥Q♣5♣ for the turned straight as he took the pot to send McMaster to the rail.
