Graham Masters Use of Ducks

Graham Masters just doubled through with {2-Hearts} {2-Spades} having moved his 39k stack in preflop in the cutoff. He had to sweat a good while though, as first off small blind Paul Gourlay dwelled for ages before passing, at which point big blind Roy Brindley snap called!

Brindley showed {A-Spades} {K-Hearts} and missed completely, giving Masters a new lease of tournament life. As his stack was counted down by 39k, he turned back to the rail and a guy he was previously talking to and said, "Anyway, that's the kind of form I'm in..."
