Nahum Gets Lucky Against Mason
Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Erik Mason opened the action with a shove from the hijack, for a total of 85,000. Thomas Bolton then called in the cutoff, before Kfir Nahum cut out a reraise to 200,000. Bolton then folded.
Erik Mason: J♠J♥ 
Kfir Nahum: 10♥10♦
Mason was ahead, but still had his phone out, ready to record in case of a bad beat. As if he knew it was coming, he let out a knowing smile as the 9♣10♠5♠ flop put his opponent well in the lead. The Q♦ turn improved him to more outs, but they bricked on the 7♦ river.
"For a triple up, as well!" he said in disbelief as he left the tournament area.
