Masek Needs Every Card

Alex Masek was faced with an all in of 83,500 preflop. Having already put in a large amount of chips himself at this point, he made the call to put his opponent at risk.

Masek: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

The flop was {6-Spades}{k-Hearts}{8-Clubs} and Masek was in trouble. What was worse is that he would be left with less than 10,000 if he was to lose this hand. The turn was the {3-Spades} and Masek had just two outs to reverse his fortune. Sure enough, the river was the {q-Clubs} and just like that, Masek has life.
