Lemaster's Kings Master The Fade

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

A player in first position moved in their final 55,000 and action folded around to Russell Lemaster in the big blind who moved all in, folding all action behind.

Opponent: {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Russell Lemaster: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

The flop and turn came out {7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}, which gave his opponent a flush draw, as well as two pair and three of a kind outs. The river peeled off the {a-Spades} Lemaster faded all of the outs of his opponent to win a decent sized pot.

Action was picked up between Yoel Gonzalez in the small blind and Erick Norvell in the big blind after getting most of each of their stacks in before the flop, creating a pot worth 213,000.

Erick Norvell: {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}

The board ran out {9-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} and Gonzalez was unable to improve against the top pair of Norvell and he exited the tournament.

Erick Norvell: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
