Jason Maeroff Eliminated in 5th Place ($16,621)
Level 29
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Carl Masters opened to 500,000 from under the gun and Jason Maeroff shoved all in for 2,350,000 in the cutoff. The action folded back to Masters who quickly grabbed some chips and called.
Jason Maeroff: 5♣5♦
Carl Masters: 9♥9♦
The flop came A♦8♥2♠ and Masters was still well in front with the better pocket pair. The 3♣ on the turn gave Maeroff a straight draw but the 3♦ on the river was not going to cut it.
