Masters Runs into Aces
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Dalton Smith raised to 2,000 on the button and Carl Masters three-bet to 8,000 in the small blind. Smith then four-bet jammed to put Masters at risk who had about 21,000 behind. Masters made the call.
Carl Masters: J♠J♥ 
Dalton Smith: A♠A♥
The flop came 9♦10♠8♦ with Smith's aces still in the lead. The 4♦ turn and K♠ river offered no help to Masters and he was sent to the rail.
Masters opted to rebuy and received a fresh 30,000 starting stack.
