Masters Fades the Deck to Double
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Level 11: Blinds 1,500/3,000
A player opened the hijack to 6,000 and Carl Masters flatted the button as did the big blind.
On the 9♦3♥2♥ flop, the hijack continued for 9,000 before Masters raised to 31,000 with 3,000 back. The hijack jammed and Masters called off for 34,000 total.
Carl Masters: A♠A♦ 
Hijack: 6♥5♥
Masters had slow-played his aces effectively but had to fade the flush draw and gutshot of his opponent. The board ran out safe for Masters as it came 10♣Q♠ and the RunGood ambassador found new life.
