Level 30
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Carl Masters announced all in on the button as the big stack and Rafael Lopez called off his stack of around 3,300,000 in the big blind.
Rafael Lopez: Q♥10♥
Carl Masters: A♥9♦
The flop came 9♠7♠7♣ and Masters maintained his lead with two pair. The 3♦ on the turn nor the 3♥ on the river could provide any help for Lopez who was forced to settle for a second-place finish.
