Masek Loses Some More

Alex Masek's stack has been on a roller coaster the past couple of hours. He was a two outter away from being crippled to just a few big blinds before spiking a queen, only to see his stack balloon even further to almost 300,000-chips. However, he slid all the way back down to earth at 180,000 before the following hand occurred.

A player, who had just lost with {k-}{k-} to {q-}{q-} all in preflop for 200,000 chips a few minutes ago, moved his last 36,000 all in from middle position. Action folded around to Masek in the big blind and he made the call to put his opponent at risk.

Masek: {a-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}
Opponent: {3-Spades}{3-Clubs}

The flop was {k-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} putting Masek in the lead. However, the {3-Diamonds} changed things in a hurry and the {6-Hearts} officially sent the chips away from Masek.
