River Bails Out Mastrantonas
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Nikolaos Mastrantonas in early position and Vetle Holum in the hijack had amassed a pot of 35,000 when they arrived on the 8♣A♠Q♥A♣ turn. Mastrantonas checked to Holum before calling the latter's bet of 25,000.
The Q♠ river was quickly checked to showdown, with Holum tabling A♥8♥ for aces full of queens. Mastrantonas got away cheaply as he showed 8♠8♦ for a lesser full house, and the pot was consequently shipped to Holum.
