A Fountain of Information

In a battle of the blinds, Jan Skampa raised to 30,000 from the small, and Antonio Matias made the call from the big blind. The flop came out {7-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {9-Spades}, and Skampa led out with a bet of 36,000. Matias quickly began stacking chips, and he stuck in a raise to 136,000. Skampa thought it over for just a minute before folding, and Matias showed that he had flopped the nuts with {8-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}. Skampa's eyes opened wide as he nonverbally thanked Matias for raising.

On the next hand, Pierre Neuville raised to 33,000 from middle position, and Matias made the call from the small blind. The flop was {K-Spades} {10-Clubs} {3-Hearts}, and Neuville led out with a bet of 46,000. Matias began counting out a raise, but when he got halfway through, he half-yelled, "Fold!" and slapped his {5-?} {5-?} onto the felt face-up.

One hand later, Matias was at it again. Jude Ainsworth made it 28,000 to go from early position, and Claudio Coelho flatted a couple seats over. When it came to Matias on the button, he asked for a count before announcing an all in for more than 2 million. Everyone quickly folded, and Matias flashed {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} as he dragged in the pot.
