He's Back and Stronger Than Ever

Level 4 : Limits 500/1,000, 0 ante

Just before the dinner break, a friendly rivalry formed when Erik Mason blind bet flop, turn and river with QQ on a board that read J5476 only to be raised by Greg Back who showed the K8 after he was called. Mason chirped up that Back was just in the tournament for the free drinks.

After returning from dinner break the two battled once more, just moments after Back spilled his drink.

Mason raised from the small blind and was called by Back in the big blind. Again, Mason had a bet loaded for every street on K8710K but when he showed the 98 for two-pair, Back declared three of a kind and showed K2.

Mason made mention that Back was running hot and Back grumbled in agreement.
