Masino Survives the Bubble
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
In the early stages of hand-for-hand play, Vincent Masino was all-in from early position and was called by a player with a covering stack in the big blind.
Vincent Masino: A♥J♠
Big Blind Player: A♦6♥
Masino had the dominant ace heading into the 5♥K♣Q♠ flop, but the board would pair on the Q♥ turn, giving the big blind player some life in the form of chop outs.
However, the 2♠ on the river would lock up the double for Masino to survive the bubble.
