Amazing Mason

Ashley Mason
Ashley Mason

Ashley Mason raised in early position and a middle position player moved all in for a little under 9,000. Mason made the call and the players showed their hands.

Mason: {A-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Opponent: {Q-}{Q-}

The board ran out {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{A-Clubs} and Mason’s opponent thought he won the pot with a straight. However Mason pointed out that he held two hearts in his hand and with the three on the board, that gave him the nut flush which was good to knockout the player.
