Masters Raises Hale
Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Ryan Masters opened to 10,000 in the hijack, and Joshua Hale three-bet to 25,000 in the cutoff. Masters called, and the 9♥3♣K♦ flop was fanned out.
Masters checked to Hale, who continued for 11,500. Masters quickly check-raised to 28,000, earning the pot as Hale sent his cards into the muck.
Hale was then sent out a few hands later, leaving the field at 27 players battling for 13 spots in the money.
