Ace on the River

Matthew Matros is running over this table now, and he almost crippled Ahmad Abghari to leave himself heads-up for the bracelet. It was Matros who lit the first spark, raising it up preflop, being raised by Abghari, and making the call. The dealer popped a {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} onto the felt, and Abghari continued as the agressor, betting the flop, the {K-Spades} turn and the {A-Clubs} river - at which point he had just 35,000 behind - before taking the pot down with {A-Spades}{J-Clubs}. A frustrated Matros revealed {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} and was left to rue the ghost of Barry Greenstein and his popular publication.
