Masek Moves Up

Alexandru Masek with his 5th WSOP Ring
Alexandru Masek with his 5th WSOP Ring

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 {2-Spades}{j-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{4-Spades}. Masek had just bet 925 into a pot of 1,800, and his lone opponent made the call. The {7-Diamonds} hit the river, and Masek assembled and put in a bet of 1,500. His opponent came along, and Masek tabled {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}. His opponent mucked, an Masek gets an early boost to start.
