Masek Moves Up
Alexandru Masek, or Alex as he is better known, just made history last week when he won his record tying 5th WSOP ring when he won Event 1 of this series. Masek is back today, and looking to cash in this event for the 2nd straight year. We just caught him in a hand that will definitely help his cause.
We caught up with the action on the turn, with the board reading 
. Masek had just bet 925 into a pot of 1,800, and his lone opponent made the call. The 
hit the river, and Masek assembled and put in a bet of 1,500. His opponent came along, and Masek tabled 
. His opponent mucked, an Masek gets an early boost to start.
