Eldridge Sends Matthews On His Bike

Level 18 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Graham Matthews
Graham Matthews

Graham Matthews opened to 24,000 from the cutoff and David Eldridge three-bet to 65,000 from the cutoff. The action folded back to Matthews, who four-bet jammed a stack of about 250,000. Eldridge called with a bigger stack.

Graham Matthews: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}
David Eldridge: {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

The nines of Matthews couldn't hold as the board ran out {3-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{7-Spades} for Eldridge to pair his king and win the pot to eliminate Matthews, who merely gave an eyebrow raise and left. A table mate, meanwhile, had words about the call with king-jack, a play that might've given Tony Gouda an aneurysm had he seen it.

"Wow. That was weird," the player commented.
