Craig Mason shoved for 245,000 from the button. Clemen Deng called from the small blind, Justin Vaysman clicked it to 430,000 from the big blind, and Deng called.

The flop came 9310. Deng checked, Vaysman bet 185,000, and Deng folded.

Craig Mason: J9 All in
Justin Vaysman: A10

The rest of the board ran out K3, keeping Vaysman's pair of tens in front to send Mason to the rail on the final table bubble.
