Mas Goes on a Roller Coaster of Emotions on His Way to a Double
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Umberto Ruggeri raised to 30,000 under the gun before Jack Kiriakus three-bet to 105,000 in middle position. Oscar Mas then moved all in for 370,000 in the small blind, Ruggeri folded, while Kiriakus paused for a moment before calling.
Oscar Mas: A?A? 
Jack Kiriakus: K?K?
"I almost folded," Kiriakus said upon finding out he had run his kings into Mas' aces. The flop came J?10?J?, but the K? fell on the turn to give Kiriakus a full house as he let out a big fist pump.
The river, though, was the A? and Mas made his own full house to win the pot and double up. Kiriakus asked the dealer if he could take a picture of the board before handing over his chips. Ruggeri then admitted he had folded a king preflop.
