Masters Gets a Lucky Double
Level 21
: 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Roberg Meglich opened to 40,000 from middle position and was called by both John Small in the cutoff and Jason Su in the small blind. Action was then on Syd Masters, who was in the big blind and three-bet all in.
Meglich asked for a count, which was totaled to be 437,000, and announced he was all in over the top. Small and Su got out of the way.
"I think I like your chances better," said Masters as he admitted to getting caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
Syd Masters: 
Robert Meglich: 
Masters was correct as the flop came 
, giving him a few more outs to a wheel. The turn 
gave him a pair, putting him out in front. The river fell 
to give him aces up, earning the double at Meglich's expense as he snatched life from the jaws of death.
