Double Double for Matros

Level 21

Matt Matros was on life support. He got his last bet in on a {j-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Hearts} flop with {a-Hearts}{7-Clubs} for middle pair. Brandon Meyers held {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and needed to hit. The {9-Hearts} turn was a brick, and the {j-Clubs} river gave Matros two pair and more than 200,000.

The players realized that the clock had rolled over to the next level already, meaning that hand probably should have been no limit. On one of the first no limit hands they played, Matros moved all in for 209,000, and Meyers took another shot at eliminating him with a call out of the big blind. Matros had the lead with {a-Spades}{10-Spades} against Meyers' {a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}. The {a-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{2-Spades}{6-Clubs} board was clean, and Matros doubled to 442,000.
