Vieth Cracks Cowboys
Level 26
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Daniel Lowery raised to 250,000 in the hijack, Ryan Albert three-bet to 750,000 in the cutoff, and Mason Vieth four-bet jammed in the small blind for 1,335,000. Lowery folded and Albert made the call.
Mason Vieth: A♣Q♣ 
Ryan Albert: K♥K♦
The flop came Q♠9♠3♠ with Albert's pair of kings still in the lead. That was until Vieth drilled the A♥ on the turn to pull ahead, improving to two pair.
The 9♦ fell on the river, securing Vieth the much-needed double up.
