Naquin Gets There; Poor Ashley Mason

Jacob Naquin has 4 World Series of Poker (WSOP) cashes to his name including a 4th place finish in the $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em event last year. He now has 200,000 after 'getting there' against British pro Ashley Mason.

We joined the action on a flop of {J-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {2-Diamonds}, Naquin had moved all-in and Mason was in the tank. After several minutes thought Mason called and was ahead when the cards were turned onto their backs.

Naquin{K-Hearts} {10-Hearts}
Mason{A-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}

WSOP bracelet holder James Dempsey raced over from a nearby table where he was playing a different event.

"Have it Mason��have it," said Dempsey.

Mason did have it, but not after the board had finished it's dirty work. The turn {3-Diamonds} and river {7-Hearts} reversing the fortunes and the pot went the way of Naquin.
