Wei Spikes the River to Eliminate Mastelotto
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Guoliang Wei opened to 575,000 from the small blind and Gustavo Mastelotto moved all in from the big blind. Wei, who covered Mastelotto slightly, made the call.
Gustavo Mastelotto: J♦J♠
Guoliang Wei: 8♦8♣
Mastelotto was in great shape with a higher pocket pair but Wei picked up some outs on the 7♥6♣4♦ flop. The 3♦ turn was a blank but Wei spiked the 8♣ for a set on the river to send Mastelotto to the rail and collect a crucial double up.
