Masters Hits the One-Outer to Stay Alive!
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 5,000 ante
On a flop of 4♦J♦9♠, all of the chips between Carl Masters and Roger Franco got into the middle, with Masters at risk on the stone bubble.
Carl Masters: A♥K♠9♦9♥
Roger Franco: A♦K♦J♠J♣
Masters was in terrible shape with middle set against the top set and nut flush draw of Franco, and the turn 3♠ left him drawing to a single out.
Masters stood up and began walking away from the table when the miracle 9♣ came down from the heavens to give him quad nines!
The table was sent into an uproar as the big pot was shipped his way while Franco was in disbelief.
