Yeehah! Cowboys Lasso a Big One

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Seeing a raise to 500 and a call ahead of him, Christopher Mason three-bet to 2,500 from the hijack. Veerab Zakarian then four-bet to 6,000 on the button, which only Mason called.

Mason checked in flow on a 2K7 flop, and Zakarian continued for 3,000. Mason sprang his trap, check-raising to 7,000, which Zakarian called.

The 8 joined the board, and Mason put 16,000 into the pot, which again Zakarian called.

There was no slowing down on the 7 river, as Mason fired 25,000. Zakarian gave it some thought, but ultimately decided to call.

Mason tabled KK for a flopped top set and rivered full house, and Zakarian mucked his cards.
