Runner Runner Straight Keeps Masek Around

Level 6 : 100/200, 25 ante

Dylan Hortin raised the action to 450. Alex Masek two seat down pushed his short stack all in. Action folded to Hortin and he flipped up {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} and made the call. He was light years ahead of Masek and his {a-Spades}{j-Spades}.

He kept the lead on the flop of {3-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} and had Masek drawing to four outs on the turn of the {10-Diamonds}. Masek would need one of the four queens to survive. The river wouldn't you know it came the {q-Clubs}.

Jackpot for Masek as he cracked the aces with his straight!

All Hortin could do was smile and get ready for another hand. Masek doubled to 6,500 while Hortin went down to 10,000.
