Ace from Space Gives Mase a Double
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Mikki Mase and Frank Lagodich were heads-up in the blinds with around 24,000 in the middle going to the flop of 10♣9♦8♦. Mase checked to Lagodich who bet 10,000 and Mase check-raised to 25,000 which Lagodich called.
The turn was the 2♣ and Mase checked again. Lagodich tossed in a bet of 26,000 and Mase called to see the A♣ on the river. Mase quickly used both hands to put the last of his 50,600 chips in the middle which sent Lagodich into the tank.
Less than two minutes had passed before Mase asked if he could call the clock. The dealer obliged and Lagodich was given thirty seconds to act. Lagodich eventually called and Mase turned over A♠Q♦ for a rivered pair, good enough to overcome the K♠K♥ of Lagodich.
