Masterful Play Leads to Chip Lead
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
On a heads-up flop of K♥J♠J♣, Carl Masters checked over to Jeff Burns who bet 15,000. Masters just smooth-called and the two went to the turn 4♣, where Masters checked once more.
Burns then bet out another 15,000 but this time Masters check-raised to 35,000, to which Burns responded by moving all in.
Masters then couldn't get his chips in fast enough and tabled K♣K♦ for top boats versus the Q♥J♥ of Burns for just trip jacks. The river 2♥ failed to provide Burns with the case jack for quads and the monster pot was shipped to Masters to put him in the chip lead.
