Mason Catches a Lucky River

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

There was a raise to 1,600 from under the gun, a raise that Ashley mason three-bet all in for 11,325 in total. A couple of players folded before the hijack four-bet all in for around 40,000 and the initial raiser called!

Mason: {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
UTG: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}
Hijack: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

Our under the gun player took the lead on the {6-Spades}{4-Hearts}{k-Clubs} flop and both the hijack and Mason started to stand from their seats. Mason had to it back down again though, because the {5-Clubs} turn was followed by the {7-Hearts} river, improving the young Brit to a straight and boosting his stack to almost 29,000.
