Up, Up, Up and Finally Away
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Alexander Massman tried unsuccessfully to leave the table on three consecutive hands. The fourth time was a charm.
First he thought he was out when he went all in against Anatoly Nikitin. He put on his backpack and stood to exit. But he had Nikitin covered, so had to sit back down with just 16,000 chips.
He went all in on the next hand and again stood to leave, but learned he chopped the pot. He hit a pair of queens on his third straight all-in to stay alive.
The next hand against Xinze Li didn't work out so well.
Alexander Massman: K♠3♠
Xinze Li: A♣Q♦
The runout 4♣K♦Q♣10♣9♣ gave Li a flush, and Massman was finally able to leave.
