Eldridge Sends Matthews On His Bike
Level 18
: 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
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: 
David Eldridge: 
The nines of Matthews couldn't hold as the board ran out 
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.
