A Couple Hands With High-Stakes Gambler Mikki Mase
The action was relayed to PokerNews after the fact. A player in early position limped in and it folded to Mikki Mase on the button who raised it up to 4,000, which only the limper called.
The flop fanned out A♦A♥10♦ and both players checked their options to the A♣ turn. The early position player tossed out a bet of 5,000 and Mase came along to the 8♣ river.
The early position player slowed down with a check and Mase bet out 15,000, which his opponent quickly called. Mase tabled Q♦Q♥ for a full-house and his opponent flashed the 10♥ to show he had a full-house as well.
A few hands later Mase opened the action to 3,600 from under the gun and only the small blind called.
On the flop of K♠Q♠7♥, the small blind check-called a bet of 7,000 from Mase. The 10♥ hit the turn and both players tapped the table for a check to the 10♣ river.
The small blind checked a third time and Mase slid out a bet of 15,000, which was enough to fold out his opponent and take down another pot to put his stack over 100,000.
